SPACE INVESTMENT SUMMIT 2.0  – Saturday  2-5

Years ago, when one said “space investment”, the response by most investors was “It's too rich for my blood”. Traditional investments in the space arena limited itself to established launch companies and the heavy communications satellite markets.

But times have changed. A plethora of “NewSpace” companies – dedicated to disrupting established ecosystem – have reached a a critical path of success, and investment – angel, VC, and institutional, is keeping pace with the new opportunities. Billions are being risked each year in new launch, services, and smallsat/payloads firms around the world.  In this session, people with their fingers on the pulse of the new space investment ecosystem, will discuss the promising new opportunities available to prosper for investors at all levels, and how the new private “space funds” coming online will assist in making the entire sector flourish even more.

If Elon Musk has his way, one day a million people will live on Mars, alone.  How do we feed them all? While academic science and government institutions have been working the problem for decades, new capabilities developed to feed people right here on earth can potentially lend an important hand.
