Programme
Over these two days, leading space companies will meet with key academics in economics, innovation management and business to discuss entrepreneurship and lessons learned from the space revolution of the last decade, and to provide inputs for the next era of space commercialisation. The conference highlight will be a panel discussion with leading innovation & space economists Mariana Mazzucato (UCL), Dominique Foray (EPFL), Vivianna Fang He (HSG) and Matthew Weinzierl (HBS). NASA Chief Economist Alexander MacDonald will join as a special guest.
In addition to speaker inputs and panel discussions, Commercial Space Days will host different forums dedicated to NewSpace, Careers, Commercial Space, Constellations, as well as Sustainability, Acceleration and Venture Capital. Academic Paper Sessions in Space Economy & Commerce will be complemented by a Science Fair for universities and student initiatives. Both days will offer a Business Zone in combination with the B2B Matchmaking Platform (b2match) for pre-arranged meetings.
The social program of Day 1 will feature a cocktail reception onboard the MS Diamant, including a Lake Cruise and transfer to Luzern’s Planetarium (Multi-Media Show) and Aerospace Exhibition Hall (Gala Dinner). Day 2 will conclude with a special keynote (tba) and the ECSECO Award ceremony. You can find the detailed programme on the conference website.
