The space industry is at a cross road. For decades, it has been dominated by bespoke large satellite missions based on large satellites produced in minimum quantity. Technologies pioneered in Berlin and the application of mass manufacturing is now enabling new exciting opportunities by replacing these cumbersome behemoths by large fleets of agile small satellites. Tom is one of the founders of Berlin Space Technologies (BST); responsible for strategy and business development. BST is one of the five commercial companies in Germany that have the capability to build complete satellite systems and one of three that currently do. Prior the founding of BST in 2010 he has worked 5 years as cluster manager and speaker for the space industry network in Germany’s capital region (RiBB) and before that 3 years as project manager for space projects at TUB. In the last decade Tom has successfully challenged long held business paradigms and thus impacted the new space industry both globally and locally. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
