In 2019, for the 50th Anniversary of the Moon Landing, the theme focused on “Lessons of 50 Years of Space Race History and What it Means for Humanity’s Future”. In 2020, during the pandemic year, Space Tech Summit convened micro virtual roundtables on how space technology can impact global grand challenges.
