Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

I Raised Millions to Repair Satellites in Space | Adel Haddoud @ Infinite Orbits
Q: What are the biggest differences between US and European defense funding approaches for your company?
The US tends to move faster with larger, more mature defense programs, offering bigger investment opportunities; Europe emphasizes collaboration and grants with a strong focus on building sovereign capabilities, requiring partnerships across multiple countries and programs like ESA and EIC.
I Raised Millions to Repair Satellites in Space | Adel Haddoud @ Infinite Orbits
Q: Why did you choose Toulouse as a base for Infinite Orbits in Europe?
Toulouse hosts CNES and Thales-Alenia Space and is a historically integrated European space hub; the region offers a deep ecosystem of space players, suppliers, and a skilled workforce that aligns with the company's multi-local European strategy.
I Raised Millions to Repair Satellites in Space | Adel Haddoud @ Infinite Orbits
Q: Who is Adel when he's not extending satellite lives in space?
He is a father of three, an aerospace engineer and entrepreneur who moved from Singapore to Europe to grow Infinite Orbits, and who invested early as a co-founder and later became CEO, driven by a passion for making space serviceable and sustainable.
How I Built Europe's First Asteroid Mining Company | Mitch Hunter-Scullion @ Asteroid Mining Corporation
Q: What is the most important lesson for early space founders?
Stay focused on a long-term vision, be willing to iterate and adapt, nurture partnerships, manage timelines realistically, and maintain a North Star while being flexible enough to pivot when necessary.
How I Built Europe's First Asteroid Mining Company | Mitch Hunter-Scullion @ Asteroid Mining Corporation
Q: If you started again, would you just straight away go to Japan to start Asteroid Mining Corporation?
The interviewee explains that while Japan offers strong collaboration opportunities and a favorable business environment, the UK's public funding ecosystem and universities provide essential early support; the decision is presented as a balance between leveraging international partnerships and grounding the company in a supportive domestic ecosystem.
