MSc&T in Space Business Strategy through Entrepreneurship and Sustainability

As countries attempt to materialize or remain at the forefront of the global Space Tech wave, still in 2023, plenty of new Aerospace companies, business units, startups, and programs emerge or blossom each year. They also strive to embody the Sustainability shift at play in (and necessary to) all layers of Society and Economy. If Space is a Blue Ocean system for business, it is also a capital part of our Planet's Ecosystem and needs our constant and devoted attention to its balance and health in the future.

Business trends in all verticals of the Space sector reach all-time highs, with each new year beating the last for Launch services, in-orbit operations, constellation and communication networks and services, and space data analytics.

The job department this program aims to provide, where transversal technical know-how meets business acumen, client behavioral comprehension, and entrepreneurial boldness is crucial to Space organizations' current and future development.
