An Austrian, a Canadian and a Belgian walk into a Bar.

Peter Platzer, CEO of Spire, will speak about what it takes to start a space company. Spire‘s growth, not just in Silicon Valley but also in Europe and Asia has offered both opportunities and trials. There is a large difference in startup environments between the US (Silicon Valley), Europe (in general), and Austria. He will explore those differences as well as how Spire has taken on the challenge of solving global problems like incorrect weather predictions and climate science.
