Access to space has dramatically increased in the past ten years. We could see tourism, short-term and long-term living, and exploration in the next 10-15 years. It does not matter what your business is; you have the opportunity to contribute in a meaningful way.

The first part of this lecture will walk through upcoming innovations in space, identify the innovation gaps, and speak about the future in space. The second part will focus on how you could imagine your own business contributing to space. We will cover how to test and transform your business innovations into real-world contributions to the coming space transformation.
