NYSA Launch Event August 31
A private event held at Ogilvy headquarters in Manhattan on August 31
highlighted their hard work and NYSA's growing cadre of friends and
supporters. Guests included highprofile members of the New York space
community, professionals with interests in space and entrepreneurship,
including Mark Thomas, Senior Vice President of the New York City Economic
Development Corp (NYCEDC), an innovation engine and a champion for
economic development, expressed the city’s support and enthusiasm for
NYSA’s work. A special panel discussion featured distinguished speakers and
friends of NYSA. The discussion pushed beyond the typical commercial
space discourse by tackling the relevance of NewSpace to some pressing
challenges facing humanity; women’s inequality, empowering youth, human
rights, inclusive global development and dimensions of societal and cultural
change. The discussion was riveting, thoughtprovoking and inspirational. You
