#DualUse and #defensetechnology have firmly arrived in the VC arena. On Wednesday, our CEO Walter Ballheimer joined a panel at the HTGF Family Day sitting alongside Bulent Altan, Rafaela Kraus, Sebastian Klaus, Major General Michael Traut, and Christian Ziach. These days, practically every space-related panel features distinguished guests in uniform. This shift underscores a growing recognition of the strategic importance of space technologies. Perhaps more significantly, it highlights the evolving collaboration between the armed forces, VCs like Alpine Space Ventures and HTGF | High-Tech Gründerfonds, and innovative startups like Reflex and ATMOS Space Cargo. Together, we're exploring new pathways to secure peace and utilize innovation to address global security challenges. #SpaceTech #NextSpace #SpaceInnovation

Over the weekend, I sat on a Space Policy panel with Austin Baker, Brooke Stokes, and Matt Holston at the Harvard Business School - MIT Sloan School of Management Technology & National Security Conference and discussed spectrum, launch, and commercial integration. Here are some highlights from the discussion: - As space technologies and use cases evolve at a rapid pace, we require regulatory policies and frameworks that are flexible and dynamic enough to adapt to these changes. - Spectrum is a precious resource and must not be wasted. We must build processes that ensure spectrum can be shared is used efficiently - In orbit, the lines between commercial and government blur, so both sectors must work together. - Space policy is a critical concern not just for space companies, but for all industries, given the foundational role of space technologies in enabling terrestrial advancements. I want to thank Louis McCullagh, Dansil Green, Elizabeth (Liz) Lippie Rimmer, and the entire team for putting together an amazing event! #venturecapital #defensetech #startups #spectrum #space #spaceindustry #innovation
