Tim Draper University To 100 Global Speakers For Space Tech Innovators

SAN MATEO, Calif. - Jan. 5, 2018 - PRLog -- To accelerate the commercialization of space, Draper University has partnered with the Global Startup Ecosystem and LightSpeed Innovations to host the first annual Space Tech Summit on January 23-24, 2018.

Today there are over 88+ annual conferences for space experts and potential enthusiasts. Yet as space becomes a more relevant part of our future reality- the ecosystem continues to gather only space experts, astronauts and researchers. What happened to the creatives, entrepreneurs, authors, actors, athletes and other ecosystem builders of society?

The Space Tech Summit brings together hundreds of entrepreneurs, pioneers, and creatives under one roof to address humanity's grandest challenges via space technology. The summit also serves to bring key stakeholders that will accelerate both the exploration and the expansion of space into mainstream audiences.

The 2018 Space Tech Summit will achieve this by covering two themes. Part one is centered on "Ecosystem Influencers of Space Tech"  which spotlights the unexpected leaders in space- from mainstream media reporters to celebrities. Insights from these leaders drives a new generation of changemakers leveraging space tech for humanity.Part two is centered on "The Future Exploration and Commercialization of Space"  with an analysis of the technologies being used to kick off startups, SME's and enterprises; along with a deep dive look into the contributions of VC fund managers, angel investors, research think tanks, governments and corporate innovators to drive the space industry to new heights.

The event will host speakers from Google, X-Prize, IBM, NASA, SpaceX, Boeing, Amazon and more. Over 20+ media representatives from Space News, Forbes, Bloomberg, Wired Magazine, Tech Crunch and more will also be in attendance.

"This summit is not only for the innovators of today but also for the game-changers of tomorrow. From Elon Musk's SpaceX to Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic to Peter Diamandis's International Space University, the acceleration of space as a final tech frontier can be sparked by anyone who has an interest and passion for this movement. As a leader in ecosystem acceleration, we at GSE are proud to continue the legacy of space exploration." Einstein Ntim- Partner @ Global Startup Ecosystem.
