PART ONE: Deep Space Exploration
 About the Webinar
KPMG’s 30 Voices on 2030: The Future of Space brings together the different perspectives of 30 senior leaders from the space industry around the world – heads of agency, engineers, lawyers, entrepreneurs and politicians – who paint a very vivid, exciting and challenging vision of what we can expect.
Join AmCham and KPMG on a limited 5-part series exploring what Space in 2030 may look like. We explore the potential of space to open up to new businesses and customers, create new products and services and speak to our sense of curiosity and desire to understand the world beyond our planet. Organisations across different industries – and not just traditional space industry players - that lack adaptability and imagination will be left behind.
As space industry technology continues to make technology advancements in the coming decade, so will our ability to expand our horizons and more deeply explore the solar system, in particular the Moon, Mars and perhaps even further afield. This webinar will explore the potential of deep space exploration. What could we discover in the years ahead and how might this impact the way we see our own place in the solar system? What challenges will need to be overcome to get there? And what do we need to consider to ensure that we preserve the planets which we explore?
