After fifty years of searching for answers in the depths of space, we know a thing or two about the value our technology can bring. We’re passionate about leading innovations – from flexible payloads, fully reconfigurable satellites and series production satellites, to human spaceflight missions. And we’re dedicated to exploring new territories: climate change monitoring, connecting passengers in aircraft wherever they are flying, or the next big thing nobody’s even thought of yet. Through our people and products we’re enabling humankind to take its next strides. Both here and beyond the stars. The future. We make it fly. airbus.com Table of Contents Contents Message from Executive Chairman 01 Guest-of-Honour 03 GSTC 2021 Programme 05 Keynote Speakers 10 Speakers & Moderators 12 Company Profiles 23 SPACE DIVISION LEO, GEO and Beyond ISRAEL’s Space House 4 Message from the President 1 Mr. Jonathan Hung President Singapore Space and Technology Association Welcome Message Welcome to GSTC 2021. The last time we met at GSTC 2020, we were one of the last few face-to-face events held in Singapore. Since then, the world has changed dramatically. This year, we continue to persevere albeit under new safe management measures as a hybrid event with a smaller in-person convention and much of our community joining online. But the industry has rallied behind GSTC 2021 and I want to start by thanking our speakers, partners, sponsors and delegates for their support. We have strong participation from every segment of the space industry – from launch services, ground services and satcom to deep space exploration and earth observation. Equally important is the growing participation from industries beyond space – cybersecurity, sustainability, logistics and mining, just to name a few. This year, we are hosting speakers, delegates and partners from close to 30 countries and regions. This strong support is a reflection of the confident growth that the space industry continues to enjoy in spite of the global challenges. In fact, the world has been bullish about the space industry and this has only continued to rise in the face of the global pandemic. And for good reason. Space has been and will continue to be even more so the seat of innovation. Space has been an important backbone of global telecommunications and the increasing reliance on space for IoT and IR4.0 is undeniable. We are finding more applications for space technologies across many other industries everyday – from traffic management to cryptocurrency and secure data transmission. Increasingly, the world is turning to space – first – for innovation, new ideas and better ways of working and living – hence the theme for this year’s conference: Future World. Endless Possibilities. Space technology is shaping our future more than ever before. Throughout the day, experts, government agencies, large corporations and start-ups alike will discuss how space is creating new possibilities for sustainability, cybersecurity, global connectivity and the smart nation agenda, and how the penetration of space across different sectors is making space a new growth engine for the region. We are particularly honoured to partner with the World Bank Group on the Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief challenge to apply space technologies to disaster relief – important support to our neighbours across the region. Together with the Singapore Land Authority, we are challenging the industry to leverage advanced GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) technology for the underserved in our society. Strategic partnerships to advance space innovation is one of the cornerstones that will further the growth of our industry. From cultivating a passion for space at a young age to highly specialised professional development, we have worked to create the next-generation of leaders, innovators and scientists so that our industry continues to flourish both in the immediate and long-term. GSTC is an important part of the work we do at Singapore Space & Technology Ltd (SSTL) to help us live out our focus on harnessing and advancing space technologies to benefit people, enterprises and the planet. So, on behalf of SSTL and GSTC, I want to applaud our sponsors and partners for your unwavering support. Many thanks also to local participants and overseas delegates for being a part of this growing community. We look forward to your feedback so that GSTC will continue to serve as an insightful, high-profile space platform. We wish you a fruitful time at this Convention. Thank you.
