How Do You Do a Space Business?

Venue: Sidney Myer Asia Centre, Carrillo Gantner Theatre

Presenters: Jason Held

Building any business is a difficult, time-consuming and expensive task. It’s no wonder that 90% of all entrepreneurs fail. And a business for space is considered especially difficult because it is owned by very large established players, not to mention that Australia has its own unique set of challenges due to a lack of government funding for civil space programs. Fortunately, the conditions are changing rapidly – and now is the best time to get involved. In this talk Saber Astronautics draws on their story and the decisions they made to survive as a space company in Australia.

Jason Held is founder of Saber Astronautics, and former US Army Major and Army Space Support Team leader for USSTRATCOM (formerly Space Command).

This session is being run as part of the Final Frontier Festival, a five-day celebration of space hosted by the Melbourne Space Program.
