Space is changing fast. Commercial activity is accelerating. Talent needs are shifting. Orbits are filling. And with the growing threat of Kessler Syndrome, long-term access to space may become more constrained than ever before.
This roundtable brings together leaders working at the intersection of education, workforce development, and space business strategy to examine how women can prepare for—and shape—a future that is both promising and precarious.
Guests include:
Donya Naz Divsalar, (incoming) Head of Future Projects at Magdrive
Elizabeth Kennick, President, Teachers In Space, Inc.
Genna Ng, Venture Partner, Beyond Earth Technologies and Co-Founder, Singapore Space Network
This discussion is part of our Securing the Future of Space campaign, sponsored by the American Space Exploration Fund.
Discussion will focus on:
The changing talent landscape in the space sector, and what preparation actually looks like in this environment
The relationship between access and sustainability: how orbital congestion, debris, and geopolitical tension may limit who gets to go where—and when
The disconnect between public success stories and the everyday pipeline experience for women across the globe
What it means to equip girls, students, and early-career professionals with the readiness to work—and lead—in a domain under pressure.
