SUMMARY:PIONEER TOMORROW: Insights Unplugged #98
DESCRIPTION:Beyond Earth: From TU Wien freshman to global space-tech entrepreneur\n\n\nWhat does it take to build a space-tech startup from the ground up? For Moritz Novak\, co-founder and CEO of GATE Space\, it’s all about cutting-edge propulsion technology\, smart funding strategies\, and staying focused on what really matters. \n  \nAs a TU Wien alumnus and Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree\, Moritz has helped shape GATE Space into one of Austria’s most promising deep-tech ventures. Since spinning off from TU Wien in 2022\, the company has developed patented propulsion systems\, secured three ESA contracts\, grown to a 20-person international team—and is now preparing for its first space mission in 2026 aboard a SpaceX rocket. \n  \nIn this talk\, Moritz will share the story behind GATE Space: how they entered the global space industry\, raised early funding\, built test infrastructure\, and attracted international attention. He’ll also offer a founder’s perspective on what it takes to survive and thrive in one of the world’s most challenging and competitive tech sectors. \n  \nThe speaker will share insights on: \n• Opportunities in the growing space industry — and how startups can take part \n• Smart funding strategies for deep-tech startups: navigating VC\, ESA and grants \n• Staying focused when resources are tight — what really matters in the early phase \n• Building a European space-tech startup — and taking it global \n  \nAbout the PIONEER TOMORROW: Insights Unplugged series \nThe PIONEER TOMORROW: Insights Unplugged\, organized by the Innovation Incubation Center (i²c) at TU Wien\, enables the audience to learn firsthand from experienced founders\, investors and innovators\, and get inspired by their success (and failure) stories. Our guest speakers share their international experiences\, dos & don’ts and lessons learned during an inspiring talk. Afterwards\, the participants can ask all the burning questions during an interactive Q&A. \nAfter the session\, the attendees have the opportunity to network and mingle with like-minded people while enjoying beverages provided by TUW i²c. \nWe are looking forward to meeting you! \n___________ \nImportant: \n*During the event\, photographic and video material will be taken.
