We recently had the pleasure of hosting Swetha Suresh, PhD, Head of Innovation at Swissnex in India, Consulate General of Switzerland; Oliver Dörr, Field CTO, Spacetech at Microsoft, and lecturer at FNHW; and Michael Gschweitl, Technical Lead at ESA BIC Switzerland and ETH Zurich Space at the Pixxel office! Their invaluable expertise and insights into innovation, hyperscaling, and space technology are crucial as we continue our mission to revolutionise Earth observation with hyperspectral imaging. We explored opportunities and challenges within the space startup ecosystem and discussed how Swiss innovation can significantly empower our journey. 🌎
