ENERGY AND SPACE
If we power the 300 largest cities in the world from space, we can power 40% of the global population with clean, limitless, and cheap energy – forever. Harnessing the energy from space has the potential to change everything; it can increase global GDP, literacy, education, advanced medical access, democracy, communications and raise the standard of living for every human being.
Together we'll explore how space-based energy could re-write our current chapter of climate change and even the future of humanity.
Join industry experts to discuss:
1) Space in the Energy Conversation
2) Space-Based Solar Power
3) Policy and the Future
4) Workforce Development: Jobs, Skills, and More
Enjoy networking/breakout sessions with industry experts, futurists, enthusiasts, and others excited to join the space ecosystem.
