The Astropreneurship Awards are part of SSPI’s global Better Satellite World campaign, which targets entrepreneurs and investors in the industry, as well as students and young professionals seeking a career in our global industry. The campaign educates the regulators and policymakers on whose judgment the industry depends. And it engages the industry’s future customers, who might not otherwise consider space and satellite technologies as a solution to their pressing problems. Ours is an indispensable industry which has an impact on the daily lives of almost everyone and moves the world’s economy and cultures forward.
