Space-based Abundance

​Space-based services like GPS revolutionized our world.  Are free, abundant energy, data, and health solutions from space next?

​Once confined to the visionary worlds of Isaac Asimov and Nikola Tesla, solutions from space are now becoming reality. Caltech researchers are pioneering space-based solar power — harvesting constant, weather-independent solar energy in orbit and beaming it to Earth. Meanwhile, entrepreneurs are rapidly developing a wide range of other groundbreaking services and technologies from space.

​Join our expert speakers as they explore the exciting opportunities emerging for entrepreneurs and researchers. This dynamic program will feature Keynote Speakers, company presentations and an engaging panel discussion.  Join us to connect with industry and research leaders for an interactive Q&A and a vibrant networking session.
