Space-Caf TLV: How AWS is Powering Space Innovation image
Space Caf is a community gathering for space professionals created by International Space University alums & is taking place regularly in several locations around the globe. With the help of many ISU alums, including Michael Potter, we aim to bring SpaceCaf to every city where ISU alums reside.
Space Caf TLV was founded by Ofer Lapid & Ran Livne of the Ramon Foundation & with the Israeli space agency's support to add Tel Aviv to the global map. We intended to introduce incoming VIPs to the local ecosystem, but since the recent events stopped most traveling, we decided to opt for a live event.
