The Space Economy’s Next Giant Leap

The space economy is rapidly evolving into a global phenomenon, engaging individuals, industries, and space agencies alike. Recent projections by Deloitte suggest that the global space industry, currently valued at approximately $450 billion, could exceed $1.5 trillion by 2030. Over 12,000 companies and about 6,000 investors are now active in this sector, with venture capital investments in space technology reaching $7.5 billion.

Recognized as a priority by the G20, the space sector is the new frontier for economic development. An increasing number of “New Space” startups, alongside established space agencies and entrepreneurs, are reshaping traditional business models. This growth has spurred hundreds of new startups in the last decade, significantly enhancing opportunities for space entrepreneurship and innovation.

Overview of the Master in Space Economy

Our Master in Space Economy is a 6-month program guided by two expert lecturers: one specializing in Space and the other in Business Development. The master is structured into three comprehensive modules to ensure a balanced and in-depth learning experience.

Module 1 (6 weeks): Engage in flexible online classes, readings, and activities designed to deepen your understanding of the Space Economy. Core subjects include Space Challenges and Risk Management, the Upstream and Downstream sectors, and Essential Concepts of the Space Economy.

Module 2 (8 weeks): Tailor-made live online workshops featuring 2 instructors, where you will collaborate on a space sector business project, either solo or in teams. This hands-on experience will refine your skills in business strategy, project management, space economics, and finance. Classes are scheduled on Sundays for added convenience.

Module 3 (12 weeks): Experience a thorough, tutor-led program that offers continuous personalized assistance. Your tutor will support you with Progress Tracking, Milestone Reviews, Performance Assessments, and a Final Evaluation, concentrating on future growth and opportunities within the space industry.
