Recently within the space and non-space industries is emerging the phenomenon of the Space Economy, characterized by the peculiar interaction between these actors belonging to different industrial sectors. This term includes all the activities that imply the commercial uses of space that derived from the Earth orbit and Outer Space activities, in turn creating benefits to society in the course of exploring, researching, understanding, managing, and utilising space.

In the first part of the webinar, the Space Economy Evolution Lab of SDA Bocconi will explore the current and future market opportunities and the related challenges of the space sector, focusing on the sectors of satellite services, in-orbit servicing and space exploration initiatives.

The webinar will follow with an in-depth analysis from the company Cenciarini & Co. that will share strategic insights on how to use the business model canvas and on how to deal with different types of investors through an effective elevator pitch.
