Yesterday, SDA Bocconi hosted the event “Investments and Financing: The Opportunity of the Space Economy,” where our Managing Partner Nicola Redi had the pleasure of joining the panel chaired by Simonetta Di Pippo. The discussion brought together key players in the space industry—institutions, research, industry, startups, scale-ups and investors. Two key takeaways emerged: - On the 60th anniversary of the launch of the first satellite (becoming the third country in the world with space capabilities after the USSR and the US), Italy has, and continuously grows, its robust aerospace ecosystem, driven by strategic investments and top-tier technological and engineering expertise. The strength of this positioning—and the opportunity for further growth—lies in identifying enabling technologies and transforming research results into investment-ready products and startups. With 19 investments closed in less than 2 years, Galaxia | Polo Nazionale di Trasferimento Tecnologico dell'Aerospazio, created by CDP Venture Capital SGR and Obloo Ventures, is playing a crucial role in developing the next generation of Italian industrial champions for this strategic value chain. - Our country has the potential to lead the global aerospace industry, which, according to McKinsey & Company, is projected to reach a value of $1.8 trillion by 2035. By strengthening public-private partnerships and focusing on international markets, this leadership could drive employment, economic growth and attract international capital, while making Italy more secure and sustainable.
