Moonshot
Growing the talent and businesses who reach beyond our small planet to capture new wealth for our worldMoonshot
Until recently, all it took was one glance at the night sky to see a vibrant universe full of energy, and a little imagination to consider the endless possibilities. With technology advances in recent years we have become more dependent than ever on our use of space while losing our personal connection. Most people live in big cities where it’s near impossible to see the night sky, and many have no idea what satellites do for us while using the term ‘it’s not rocket science’ to contrast easy challenges with something widely considered near impossible. Today, rocket science is a trivial problem, access to space is within reach of anyone capable of paying a fraction of the cost of a house in a first world nation, and ‘rocket scientists’ are about to become a huge part of the modern workforce. Every industry is increasingly becoming a part of an economy stretching beyond Earth. Moonshot exists to help the world make the transition to a space economy while rebuilding our relationship with space. The opportunities are all-encompassing, from opportunities to develop new medicines from chemical reactions requiring minimal gravity, to transitioning environmentally damaging industrial processes away from our biosphere, allowing life to thrive while creating more pure materials and better-performing products. But when it comes to cultivating solutions to humanity's most difficult challenges the global economy is fragmented and even the most promising initiatives falter midrace. That was, until Moonshot. It's a movement, made up of an international network of people and organisations, and a framework to align commercial interests to reward collaboration in creating seemingly magical solutions to today’s challenges. We’re on the verge of a Cambrian explosion of new opportunity. We invite you to join us.
