Panel 3: Startups and Technology Incubation
India and the United States host two of the world’s most dynamic space startup ecosystems, however, both countries have not yet identified areas where they complement each other in order to feed into their respective strengths in innovation. The United States remains a talent magnet with its huge capital backing, while India remains a huge talent source. This potentially narrows modalities for bilateral space cooperation. How should India and U.S. ecosystems collaborate as equal partners? How are universities, research institutions, and innovation hubs such as UCF connecting talent, capital, and incubating emerging technologies to strengthen the India-U.S. space innovation ecosystem?
