Space economy is no longer just about rockets and satellites, but also about creating entirely new models for building resilient infrastructure, deploying autonomous systems, and operating and defending off-earth assets. TechCrunch will be held in 2025 at Moscone West, San Francisco on October 27th-29th, and is where these earthquake changes in space innovation will be realized.

In the next era of space technology
This must-see panel brings together three of the three most influential space engineers of today to map out what's next in the orbital industry.
Northwood Space co-founder and CEO Bridgit Mendler will return to Space Stage after his Standing Room-only debut in 2024. Mendler shares how Northwood Space can expand its network of ground stations to promote next-generation satellite connectivity. Worldwide renowned as a former Disney star, she is currently making headlines for space technology entrepreneurship, focusing on building resilient and scalable communications infrastructure.
Even Rogers, co-founder and CEO of True Anomaly, is a former Air Force officer and space systems strategist. Rogers helped shape the basic doctrine of the US Space Force as a DARPA Service Chiefs Fellow. Now he is deploying cutting-edge space defense technology to protect orbital assets and rethink the way the US can ensure freedom of action in space.
Max Haot, a multi-exit entrepreneur across aerospace, live streaming, and connected devices. Launcher founder (acquired by Vast); and Vast's CEO is currently leading the vast mission of building an artificial gravity space station. His track record of transforming the concept of bold science fiction into a venture-wrapped reality makes him one of the most ambitious voices in the commercial space.
The future of the universe is not theoretical, it is operational
This panel goes beyond hype.
