Purpose:

Join us as we embark on an exciting journey to explore a new horizon that holds limitless possibilities.This year's focus is on painting a vision of a supply chain that can create a thriving cis-lunar ecosystem of companies. Our aim is to build a sustainable future that enables us to expand further into our solar system, unlocking new frontiers and opportunities for generations to come. Don't miss this chance to be part of an event that promises to be truly transformative.

Aim:

The aim of the summit is to ensure that those who attend will leave with not only an awareness of said horizons being a potential reality, but equipped with a knowledge of their position within the supply chain needed to make this a reality.

The curation of this supply chain behind a clear and tangible purpose enables us to provide the following benefits.

We weave together startups, SMEs and local/international enterprise companies in panel discussions, providing them with direct business development/ cash-flow opportunities that break down any barriers to entry.
This means that investors can view and capitalise on these discussions and fund further interaction.
Those who provide supporting services, such as consultancies, have the opportunity to gauge what services offerings the industry needs to scale, and meet its goals and purpose.

History:

Our event has a proven track record of bringing together the brightest minds from a diverse range of industries, including heavyweights like Rolls-Royce, Microsoft, and Axiom. In 2022 alone, we engaged over 1000 attendees through a combination of in-person and online experiences. This year, with the help of our valued sponsors, we're committed to engaging our audience even more deeply.

One of the unique features of our summit is that we freely broadcast the event online, providing a unique opportunity to engage with thousands of people beyond the physical venue. We're proud to have connected with countless online communities, offered volunteer opportunities to students, and facilitated networking for our attendees.

By participating in our event, you will have the opportunity to join this exclusive community of investors, start-ups, executives, and industry professionals. You'll gain access to tailored B2B meetings, start-up pitches, and exclusive announcements, all while networking with some of the most influential leaders in their respective fields. Don't miss out on this chance to be a part of something truly special.
