SPIRE OFFERS NEWSPACE DIVERSITY FELLOWSHIP

Over the last couple decades, newspace has democratized aerospace, opening its doors to more players than ever. But across the industry, there is still a noticeable lack of diversity in people and ideas. Space is by definition a global endeavor, and newspace will be felt by the world.

Therefore, Spire is inviting 1-2 young professionals to join the discussion at NewSpace Europe in Luxembourg, Europe’s only conference dedicated to newspace and breaking the barriers to commercial enterprise in space. The goal is to enrich the conference with underrepresented perspectives to solve the most pressing issues in aerospace.  This is an opportunity to meet fellow future space leaders and industry experts, and to network and engage with a community dedicated to building a sustainable space industry for all people. 

WHAT IS INCLUDED

  • Complimentary flight, lodging, and conference registration
  • Meet & Greet with Spire CEO Peter Platzer and VIP speakers
  • Exclusive access to all networking receptions and special sessions
  • Tour of Spire’s Luxembourg office

WHO SHOULD APPLY

The Spire NewSpace Diversity Fellowship is for young professionals, ages 18 to 35, from diverse backgrounds of underrepresented gender, race, nationality, and education. Fellows have the intention of making a career in the space industry, and represent a diverse demographic. Spire is looking for ambitious young professionals from a variety of backgrounds including engineering, science, communication, business, law, and policy. Applicants will be evaluated based on experience, past projects, and their answers to a series of essay questions included in the application.
