This event is hosted as part of the National Space Industry Hub, an initiative of Investment NSW, powered by Cicada Innovations.

This is your chance to learn from one of the world's premier space entrepreneurs. With over 20 years experience in the space industry, Daniel Faber has founded and built multiple incredibly successful space companies. From homegrown Australian engineer to serial Silicon Valley entrepreneur, he has accumulated a wealth of knowledge to share.

This is a rare opportunity to learn from a visionary entrepreneur, and find out:

• His advice for budding space/deep tech entrepreneurs

• How the sector has radically transformed in the last 10 years

• His hope for Australia and vision for the global space ecosystem

Currently, Daniel is the co-founder and CEO of Orbit Fab, a company whose vision is to build a thriving in-space market. This involves supplying existing services, like water to the ISS, but also supplying future space industries like tourism, manufacturing and mining. Their first target has been to put petrol stations in space, in an effort to make satellites reusable and minimise space junk. In June, Orbit Fab launched the world's first operational petrol station in space and just last month closed a $10m funding round with Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman.

Prior to Orbit Fab, Daniel was the CEO of Deep Space Industries, pursuing space mining, where he grew sales from zero to nearly $10 million in 5 years.

The National Space Industry Hub will contribute to creating a vibrant and globally competitive space industry to delivering benefits for all Australians. The Hub offers a physical space, resources, mentoring, and connections for emerging space ventures and researchers in Australia. Find out more.
