As the race to commercialize space accelerates, Austin has emerged as a dynamic hub for entrepreneurship and innovation beyond Earth’s atmosphere. This rapid evolution raises critical questions about the future and the opportunities that lie ahead. At this event, you will hear from an engaging panel discussion featuring entrepreneurs, scientists, and leaders from the Texas Space community. Together, we will explore the groundbreaking innovations and companies that are defining the Space Economy, while also addressing the essential needs for education, investment, and entrepreneurial support to propel this sector forward.
This event begins with networking, a specialty cocktail, beer/wine, and light appetizers. The panel discussion will be followed by a live Q&A with the audience and more refreshments and continued networking and drinks afterwards. Attendees are encouraged to engage with the panelists and each other to share insights and build valuable connections.
