Financing Space Industry’s Future Investments, I

ince 2014, venture dollars fueling the space industry grew tenfold, defined SpaceX as the dominant industry player and supported systematic adoption of space services by enterprises, space agencies and governments at large. At the 10 year mark of the venture-backed space industry, the sector considers lessons learned from the 2021 space SPAC era, recalibrates expectations and seeks exit opportunities. Last year, Asia Pacific dominated the exit landscape with IPOs for Contec, ispace inc. and iQPS and emerged as a go-to destination for growth capital, both of which are set to continue in 2024.
In this panel, speakers will
discuss the shift of space investment activity to Asia Pacific,
comment on 2024 developments and
consider the lessons learned from the 2021 SPAC era.
