Two days where the space economy does business.
The space economy is moving from breakthrough technologies and individual missions toward durable commercial markets. But those markets don't emerge on their own. They require capital to finance them, capabilities to build them, and customers ready to buy.
Up/Link brings those pieces together in New York — the founders building commercial space companies, the investors funding them, and the enterprise and government buyers writing the contracts.
The question running through the program is simple: What has to get funded, built, and bought for the next generation of space markets to take hold?
Up/Link answers it two ways at once — mainstage insight, and a structured program of curated 1:1 meetings.
Insight on the stage. Deals in the room — one matched meeting at a time.
The people who lead this market.
“Every commercial and government organization needs a space strategy — and, whether they know it yet or not, a quantum strategy.”Dennis Gatens

Two days. One arc.
TUESDAY, OCT 20 · CAPITAL FORMATION
Day one maps where the money lives — and how companies win it. The morning covers the machinery that prices risk and moves capital — the insurance, banking, and advisory layer, and the policy that turns public programs into commercial markets. The afternoon turns to how companies actually win it: what makes space an institutional allocation, what building a public company really costs, and how VCs pick winners. Speakers represent the NYSE, Fidelity Investments, AE Industrial Partners, and many more.
WEDNESDAY, OCT 21 · COMMERCIAL ADOPTION & GROWTH
Day two turns from who writes the checks to what gets built and who buys it. From how nations, enterprises, and defense customers actually purchase, to lunar resources, low-gravity manufacturing, and orbital compute and power — the conversation moves from promising technologies to the businesses that can support durable commercial markets.
