We believe that cutting-edge knowledge should have tangible, practical outcomes. Insights should always drive impact. That’s why we’re focused on four interrelated pursuits, each of which integrate theoretical breakthroughs with real-world application:
Applied Research
Educational Programs
Ideas Generation Talks
Dissemination Events
This fusion of theory and application ensures that our insights are capable of underpinning strategy for our public and private partners
Using a holistic, multidisciplinary approach, our research practice is centred upon three key principles:
Objective Definition: understanding exactly what our clients need
Knowledge Acquisition: gathering the right mix of competencies and information
Methodology Assessment: developing the appropriate academic approach
By applying these approaches to our vertical know-how, we ensure that our clients receive the outcomes and strategic insights they need.
Delivering the findings as papers, reports, and use cases, the insights of our research delivers valuable and strategic recommendations that can enhance our client’s abilities in space.
We publish this research in both restricted publications (for the Founding Members) and accessible publications, including:
SEE LAB PUBLICATIONS: academically consistent research outcomes published on international business and space economics international journals
CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE SPACE COMMUNITY: the ‘contributions of the Space Community’ provides a collection of presentations, papers, articles and reports from space experts and non-space actors as well as young professionals and students working on innovative ideas in the field of the space economy.
Our deep understanding of the space industry and the core expertise of SDA Bocconi School of Management are the basis of our educational courses, designing to improve managerial skills and develop a strategic vision for tomorrow’s space economy.
These courses include:
Space-industry based, focusing on the economics and business of space, including in-Earth orbit and beyond Earth-orbit

Today’s space industry faces a very challenging environment. Public-private dynamics, global competition, and constant change are pushing space-oriented organisations to a higher level of innovation.
Our Ideas Generation talks are designed to make collaborative thought flourish. An expert panel sourced from universities, industry, and research centres are brought together for intense brainstorming sessions to exploit the potential of cross-disciplinary collaboration, enhancing our understanding and generating novel solutions to some of the most pressing problems of space commerce.
