The Space 100.

One hundred leaders shaping the space economy, held together by one commitment: the furthest ambitions in space must create tangible impact back on Earth.

Now forming

Go far. Come back changed.

In 1968, Apollo 8 went further from Earth than anyone had been. What came back was a photograph of home that changed how we see the planet.

The Space 100 is built on the same idea. The journey outward is only worth it if it brings something back: better climate intelligence, stronger communications, smarter agriculture and infrastructure.

An exclusive fellowship among the world's best.

The Space 100 is an invitation-only community for the people shaping the space economy. It is presented and hosted by VUKA Works.

One hundred of the very best minds across the public and private sectors and academia: policymakers, scientists, founders, operators and investors. Diversity of geography, discipline, generation and gender is built into who is invited.

There are no applications and no tickets, and membership is free. Members are nominated by a selection committee of respected leaders across geographies and industries, then invited personally.

United by what we build for the future.

Every member makes a charter commitment on joining: a frontier of impact back on Earth.

  • Mining
  • Climate
  • Telecommunications
  • Scientific research

Members and associate sponsors sign a yearly charter, committing to measurable goals the collective will work towards for the next 365 days. Each year, progress against it becomes the agenda.

A year-round rhythm.

  1. 01

    Chapters

    Members meet in smaller regional chapters through the year, each with its own rhythm. Expect online workshops, intelligence retreats and regular opportunities to connect.

  2. 02

    The convergence

    Once a year, every chapter comes together for one gathering, structured around the charter. It launches content and project collaborations, and start-up incubator hubs that put the 100's knowledge to work.

  3. 03

    Between gatherings

    An AI intelligence layer holds each member's charter as context, suggests the right introductions and keeps the community connected. Not a group chat: a curated intelligence environment.

Where real conversations converge.

Alongside the convergence, members are invited to small, extraordinary experiences: an intimate group, exclusive access and someone legendary in the room, such as an astronaut, a mission director or a founder.

Imagine a private tour of a launch site with a dozen peers and the people who fly the missions. Small. Unforgettable. Designed so the relationships compound.

The members are the value.

Membership of the 100 is by nomination only, approved by a selection committee.

Shape the agenda

Sponsor a convergence theme, a chapter series or a research brief, and help set what the 100 work on.

All year, not one weekend

Workshops, retreats, collaborations and celebrations: many moments to connect and to celebrate what the 100 know.

A model that travels

The Space 100 is the first. The same model can be built for any industry or frontier, with VUKA Works.

Why sponsor the 100?

  • Proximity to the most influential people in the space economy, across the public and private sectors and academia
  • A voice in what the 100 discuss, research and prioritise
  • The collective knowledge of the 100, through briefings, research and the AI intelligence layer
  • Presence across a year-round calendar of gatherings, workshops and experiences
  • Hosting rights for signature experiences and chapter events
  • Introductions to members, made by VUKA Works where there is a real fit
  • Early sight of the projects, start-ups and investment opportunities the community surfaces
  • Outcomes agreed up front and measured

No great leap alone.
