E6. BUSINESS INNOVATION SYMPOSIUM
The symposium will address creative business approaches to serving government and private sector customers, as well as government options for encouraging this activity. The symposium will address the general role of government in encouraging space industry applications, new business models in traditional space industry applications (e.g. satellite-based services involving Earth observation, navigation and communications) and new space industry applications (e.g., space tourism, space-industrialisation, space resource utilisation).

E6.1. Case Studies and Prizes in Commercial Space
The entrepreneurial space movement can benefit from the experience of other programs, companies and individuals and new ideas that are built on these histories can be better positioned in a competitive market. This session is intended to collect and tell the histories of past and new space business attempts and successes as well provide insights into the use of incentive prizes to spur the emergence of a New Space movement.

E6.2. Public/Private Human Access to Space - Supporting Studies
The International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) Commission 3 “Space Technology & System Development” has initiated a study group (#3.14) entitled “Public/Private Human Access to Space”.

E6.3. New Space and New Science
The space industry has been predominated by government programs with a major focus on scientific exploration (both robotic or human). More recently, the world has seen the emergence of private organizations embarking on ambitious scientific space programs of their own. This session is designed to compile a sampling of these programs, providing a description and update of their activities in the non-profit world of science.
