Young Marco Polo Programme

Moonshot challenges pairing young executives with traditional companies to explore space-enabled market expansion.

The Young Marco Polo Programme is SEA's signature multi-month challenge. Named after the legendary explorer who bridged East and West, YMP pairs young executives and professionals with traditional companies facing the disruptions of the NewSpace economy.

Cohorts work in teams to research and develop market feasibility studies for space-enabled business opportunities — then pitch their findings to sponsors and investors at the culminating Demo Day. YMP alumni have gone on to launch startups, advise corporates on space strategy, and pursue careers in the NewSpace sector.

Space Education Tours & Adventures

Your chance to watch a live rocket launch, explore drone corridors, visit space facilities, and experience NewSpace firsthand.

There is nothing quite like standing at a launch site as a rocket rises into the sky. SEA organises curated space education tours to give our members direct, extraordinary experiences of the space economy — from Hainan Island to space agency facilities, drone landing zones, and air taxi hubs.

Each tour combines site visits with curated cultural and business exchanges, connecting our community to the global NewSpace ecosystem and its people.
