SPACETIDE 2019 Concept

SPACETIDE organizes Japan’s first private space business conference, to become an industry platform by connecting key space stakeholders such as startups, corporations, government agencies & related organizations, investors, engineers, designers and researchers. Our hope is to support space industry development by providing visibility to new space business. Last year, around 600 key stakeholders discussed the growing cooperation of space and non-space industry at “SPACETIDE 2018”. This year, key stakeholders will discuss the frontier of rising space technologies and services, as the theme of 4th conference “SPACETIDE 2019” is “Accelerating space business, visions become reality”. More diverse discussions are expected this year, as we are inviting industry leaders not only from Japan, US and Europe but from other Asian countries, to provide new angles to discussions. Do not miss the opportunity to attend Japan’s very first private space business conference “SPACETIDE 2019”.
