主要な民間宇宙ビジネスカンファレンスのひとつ「NewSpace Conference(ニュースペース・カンファレンス)」、2013年は7月25日から27日の3日間、シリコンバレーにて開催されることが発表されました。
■NewSpace 2013
旧来の政府主導の宇宙開発に対して、民間組織による新しい宇宙開発の世代は「NewSpace」と呼ばれています。
NewSpace2013の発表文では近年の急激なNewSpaceの成長を1990年代のインターネットの成長になぞらえ、このムーブメントへの参加を呼びかけています。
まだ一度も参加できていないので、来年か再来年には参加してみたい、と思っています。
以下、発表文です。
The next disruptive innovation is already underway and it is in space.
The commercial space industry is building a new market with efficient business processes, a wide spectrum of technology, and almost prescient investors. It’s been said that the first trillionaires will be made through space industrialization and we’re going to show how space pioneers are creating new products and profits. NewSpace is undergoing rapid expansion, similar to the Internet explosion of the 1990’s, and needs to be filled with revolutionary businesses like yours.
The Space Frontier Foundation’s annual conference is one of the most important commercial space conferences in the nation, and will be in July in Silicon Valley. NewSpace 2013 is where networking with leaders, supporters, investors and activists evolves into enterprises that propel the industry upward. It will host a wide-range of thought-provoking panels and visionary keynote speakers that will surpass NewSpace 2011’s already highly-praised programming.
This is the fourth year that the conference has been in Silicon Valley and we are pleased to continue holding the most stimulating conference on the world of commercial space in the home of cutting edge technology. We personally welcome the experienced Silicon Valley technologists and entrepreneurs to come and get on board with NewSpace.
The three day event will focus on the current, near term, and future potential and challenges of the emerging commercial space industry. People from throughout the space, advocacy and technology industries to those in startups, government and media bring their ideas for opening the high frontier making this conference a hotbed of innovation and partnership. We look forward to having you join us.
Space settlement is no longer a dream, it is an industry.
