As chair of a dream team council of four illustrious world leaders in space and space innovation, we are providing strategic direction to mainstream space in Asia. In partnership with key stakeholders in industy, government and academia, the council will select key cross-sector themes and identify sectors for growth across Asia. Our goal is to find ways to accelerate commercial companies working in space and deep tech to success by increasing their footprint and helping them identify business opportunities across the globe.
