How can the pursuit of space solve complex challenges on Earth?

Join a panel of experts as we explore barriers and opportunities for government, research, private industry, philanthropy, investors, innovators, and entrepreneurs in exploring space for Earth's benefit.

Add your voice to the conversation as we unpack questions including:

What contributes towards a competitive and sustainable space-focused industry innovation ecosystem?
How can all businesses be involved in the space sector?
What is the role and contribution of government policy and industry bodies?
What are practical ways to support space development by incubators, accelerators, investors, and those supporting innovation and entrepreneurship?

Join Space industry leaders in an interactive session as we define Space challenges and opportunities in a topic that has the potential to Transform your World.

Panelists include:

Xavier De Kestelier - Head Of Design at Hassell
