Current Trends and Future Prospects for Commercial Space Businesses in Asia
Thursday, Nov 16, 2017
04:30 pm - 05:50 pm
Richard B. Dasher Director at the US-Asia Technology Management Center
In this session, Prof. Dasher applies his US-ATMC approach to forecasting the impact of a new technology on industry value chains to examine the impact of outer space as a business platform on “the space economy” (space products and services, infrastructure and support services, R&D services, and financing/insurance) and on selected other industries, e.g. cloud IT, agriculture, and supply chain management. This session pays special attention to the emerging role of Asia in these sectors. In addition, the session will include information on companies that were not able to send speakers to this autumn quarter series on “The rise of commercial space businesses in Asia.”
No registration necessary. Our seminars are free and open to the public.
