Event Overview:
Come join us for a conversation with Dr. Jaiwon Shin, NASA’s Associate Administrator for Aeronautics Research.  In 2018 the Alternative Investment Committee is hosting several programs on venture capital investing in space startups.  These ventures are part of a growing global trend of private investment in space, and they build on the work of NASA, JAXA and other government funded activities.  

Dr. Shin will also discuss the exponential growth that is expected in the Asian aviation sector, and how NASA is working with Japan and other international partners to ensure safe and efficient air travel in the future. 

Come to see how the government continues to innovate in its own programs.
