Using knowledge of the stars to navigate their way across the then known
world, the forefathers of today’s Omani entrepreneurs forged international
trade links that flourish to this day. And now, ambitious young Omanis are
turning their sights to the stars once again as scientific advances such as the
development of cost-effective satellite technology and reusable rockets
have moved the space industry beyond the exclusive orbit of governments
and large corporations. Indeed, a new era for enterprise is taking off, one that
invites terrestrial businesses, high-fliers and small-scale start-ups to be pioneers
in a constellation of limitless opportunities.
In this Tejarah Talks, we explore the terrain of the space industry, taking on
board the stellar possibilities for innovative thinkers and business visionaries
as well as the potential for existing on the ground companies. We will look at
the trends and technology shaping this exciting industry, the application of
traditional business models and public-private partnerships, stimulating the
space start-up eco-system and much, much more.
