About
Tomás Hedlund has spent two decades analysing where value actually accumulates in the space value chain — and where it does not.
He advises pension funds, sovereign funds and industrial groups on space and dual-use exposure, and is a regular voice at banking and insurance conferences where the audience wants substance rather than orbital imagery.
On stage he is dry, precise and quotable, with a habit of dismantling at least one comfortable assumption per keynote.
