Introduction
For decades, space has been a matter of nations, rigid protocols, and clear trajectories.
Today, we are experiencing a revolution. Space is no longer just a destination; it is a laboratory, a rapidly changing economy, and the mirror of our future on Earth.
The space sector is not looking for executives who apply ready-made formulas, they are looking for visionaries, agile minds able to pivot when a technology fails, and to collaborate internationally.
There is an invisible skill that will determine your success: your Open Mind.
