Oxford Smart Space: pathways to space

About the event

Panel event discussing what space represents as a business opportunity, collaboration models, and how success is measured in this sector.

Our Oxford research on the global space economy argues that commercial markets are shaped by multiple actors, their distributed activities, which over time result in consolidated business models, regulatory frameworks and sustained types of collaboration – in short, recognisable ‘pathways’ to the space economy.

In this Oxford Smart Space episode on 'Pathways to space' we feature conversations about how incumbent firms, government agencies, ventures, and others imagine ‘space’ as an opportunity for business and how they organise their strategies.

The session will be chaired by Michele Scataglini, Associate Fellow at Oxford Saïd, and with our featured speakers, he will explore the following questions:

  • What does ‘space’ mean as a commercial opportunity?
  • What strategies are your firm or agency exploring to create and deliver value?
  • What forms of working together do you see emerging between public and private sector, on platforms and ecosystem approaches, with incumbents and startups, timeframes and criteria of ‘success’ in your own firm and in the broader sector?

Linked to our latest Oxford Smart Space series we have a new Oxford Answers series on Pathways to Space. In our first piece Marc Ventresca and Michele Scataglini outline how incumbent firms, ventures and other agencies are (re)engaging with the space economy and they have five early lessons and observations from the project.
