WHAT WE ARE:

The Center for Space Entrepreneurship (Espace) is a not-for-profit organization formed as a partnership of the University of Colorado a national leader in aerospace engineering, and SpaceDev, a leading entrepreneurial space (e-Space) company located in Louisville Colorado.

Espace is charted to support the creation and development of a critical national resource, e-Space companies, and to simultaneously develop a diversified 21st Century workforce to support them.

WE BELIEVE

[+] That Entrepreneurial Space companies are a national resource; they are "innovation engines", creating technologies that transform how we reach and utilize space.

[+] That aerospace is fertile ground for the formation of Entrepreneurial Space companies.

[+] That by providing a catalyst to the formation of Entrepreneurial Space companies, we will stimulate a thriving e-Space community that will support the development of a fresh, diversified aerospace workforce and that will change how we explore space, making it more accessible and affordable.

[+] That the most powerful education comes through partnerships of Academia and Industry, and that by educating the aerospace workforce through such a collaboration, we can motivate individuals that are extraordinarily well qualified to support our aerospace industry into the next millennium.
