‘New Space: Launching Entrepreneurship’, VSV Leonardo da Vinci annual symposium

Every year, only a handful of people visit space. Billions of people, however, use space-related technology on a daily basis. Just like the access to airspace in the past, the access to space is undergoing a major shift. At first only accessible for government, military and scientific purposes, our airspace is also being used for commercial purposes nowadays. Outer space seems to be moving in that very same direction. This creates exciting opportunities for entrepreneurs to start new ambitious companies operating in the ‘New Space’ domain.

Tomorrow, the annual symposium organized by the VSV ‘Leonardo da Vinci’ will focus on both the technical aspects of the ever changing space sector and the entrepreneurial side of things. Therefor this year’s topic will be ‘New Space: Launching Entrepreneurship’. This symposium will not only focus on space tourism and transport, but also on a whole new approach to satellite production, the different uses of satellite technology and other innovative space applications. A symposium about the underlying technology, but also about the challenges  a space entrepreneur faces.

Speakers will include high level executives like Arnaud de Jong from Airbus DS and Harry van Hulten from XCOR. So do you want to meet the people at the centre of the greatest shift in space technology and entrepreneurship? Then get ready to launch entrepreneurship and register online at www.vsv-symposium.com!
