Panel 2: Selling growth projections to investors in an uncertain environment

Securing funding is challenging in the space industry. Investors are prudent, and innovators and startups especially need to understand how and where they can raise more money or perhaps even leave the market because funding is ever harder to obtain.

Which strategies should industry players adopt to reassure investors and successfully raise funding, and how can buyers pick the right targets at the right time?

Moderator: Claude Rousseau, expert in space and satellite

Panellists:

• Bulent Altan, Investment Partner, Alpine Space Ventures
• Wim Steenbakkers, Managing Director, Global Head Satellite Finance, ING Wholesale Banking
• Laurence Vigeant-Langlois, Managing Director, AE Industrial Partners LP
