The Frontier Formal Convenes Global Thought Leaders to Explore the Future of Space and Mobility
Lake Como, Italy, May 25, 2024 – Two worlds converged this past weekend as the inaugural Frontier Formal ascended at the historic Villa Pliniana in beautiful Lake Como, hosted by Type One Ventures, Trousdale Ventures, and Banca Investis. This unique three-day event brought together distinguished guests worldwide to explore the future of space and mobility, culminating in an experiential black-tie gala “on the moon”. The event was a resounding success, fostering innovative dialogue and forging new partnerships.
The Frontier Formal gathered thought leaders, industry experts, investors, founders, and policymakers to discuss cutting-edge developments and challenges in space exploration and advanced mobility both here on Earth and in space. The event featured keynote speeches, panel discussions, fireside chats, and live activations from companies such as Lunar Outpost, Gravitics, Argo Space, CesiumAstro, Meyer Manx, McLaren, Cuby Technologies, Axiom Space, and Interstellar Lab, providing attendees with a comprehensive understanding of the latest advancements and future trends. Philanthropic partner Space for Humanity hosted some of their renowned citizen astronauts and their learnings from the overview effect. Interstellar Lab & the Antoine de Saint Exupéry Youth Foundation unveiled their new partnership, Mission Little Prince, which is set to grow roses on the Moon and stir a childlike curiosity toward space exploration.
Villa Pliniana, with its rich history and stunning vistas, served as the perfect backdrop for this groundbreaking event. The serene environment of Lake Como juxtaposed the past with the future, and inspired creativity and innovation that contributed to the overall success of The Frontier Formal.
“We are thrilled with the outcomes of The Frontier Formal,” said Managing Partner Abdo John Hajj from Type One Ventures. Since its inception, The Frontier has been designed to inspire and educate those who may have never had exposure to the space and deep tech sectors. Our goal is to continue to expand the Frontier with no geographical limitations. We look forward to the many more events and, hopefully, the tangible impacts that result from them.”
The Frontier Formal marks a significant milestone in the collaborative efforts to advance space exploration and mobility technologies. Type One, Trousdale, and Banca thank all sponsors and guests who contributed to the event's success and look forward to future editions.
