Industry forecasts suggest a substantial increase in financial activity within the space sector over the coming decade. Boeing, a leading aviation company, projects the aerospace market will achieve a $3 trillion valuation between the present and 2029.

While it is logical for Boeing to present a significant figure, this assessment aligns with other industry predictions. Deloitte, for instance, anticipates ongoing investment growth in areas such as electric propulsion technologies and aircraft, urban air transportation, and completely automated flight control systems over the next ten years.

Investors are currently considering the best strategies for capitalizing on this anticipated expansion – and identifying the most promising locations. China currently exhibits the fastest rate of growth in the aviation market worldwide. France and Germany are increasing their allocations to defense spending. Simultaneously, rising passenger numbers in India, Japan, and the Middle East are expected to generate demand for a variety of new aircraft types.

Naturally, many of these ventures will demand extensive time and financial resources, potentially exceeding the capacity of some venture capital firms. Even for those who do invest, challenges related to supply chains, achieving profitability, and managing capital limitations exist.

To thoroughly explore this expansive field and its potential, we are pleased to announce a discussion with three experienced investors deeply engaged in this sector. They will share their insights on upcoming trends and areas of potential overestimation at our TC Sessions: Space event, scheduled for December 16-17.

This event will provide valuable information on which universities are developing leading talent, which global regions offer the greatest advantages, and a re-evaluation of the viability of supersonic jet technology, among many other topics. You won’t want to miss this insightful conversation.

Ms. Hatch possesses a wealth of knowledge in this area. She earned a Bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering from the University of Michigan, followed by a Master’s degree in aeronautics and astronautics engineering from Stanford University. Her career then progressed to roles at Boeing and SpaceX, where she collaborated with government entities on integrating payloads with the Falcon 9 rocket.

We will also be joined by Mike Collett, the founder and managing partner of Promus Ventures, a venture capital firm with locations in Chicago, San Francisco, and Luxembourg, focusing on investments in advanced software and hardware companies across the United States, Europe, and New Zealand.

Mr. Collett, a graduate of Vanderbilt University, has dedicated over 15 years to investing in software and hardware, with a focus on fields like artificial intelligence, machine learning, space technology, financial technology, robotics, synthetic biology, computer vision, and connected vehicles. Recent investments by Promus Ventures include Earth AI, a company specializing in mineral exploration, and Aurora Insight, a startup focused on spectrum mapping.

Finally, Chris Boshuizen, an operating partner at the venture firm Data Collective (DCVC), will participate in the discussion. Mr. Boshuizen previously co-founded and served as the CTO of Planet Labs for five years, a company established nearly a decade ago as a pioneer in providing daily global mapping of Earth from space. He also held the position of Space Mission Architect at NASA Ames Research Center and was instrumental in the creation of Phonesat, a spacecraft constructed using only a standard smartphone.

Originally from Australia, Mr. Boshuizen holds a PhD in physics from the University of Sydney and has developed strong perspectives on current opportunities in the field. We are delighted to welcome all three experts and look forward to your participation as well.
