Asian Leaders in Space Tech

Asian Leaders in Space Tech is a panel and networking evening on Tuesday, September 30, 2026, roughly 5:00 to 8:00 PM PDT at Washington 1000, 1000 Olive Way in downtown Seattle. Hosts are Actuate Ventures, Asian Hustle Network, and Singapore Global Network, with Cooley listed as a collaborator on the Luma page. Speakers on the live listing come from Charter Space, Canopy Aerospace, and Spacedock. The night sits inside Seattle Space Week, so treat it as a diaspora-facing room on the regional aerospace calendar rather than a standalone happy hour. RSVP and approval run through Luma; a submitted request is not a guaranteed seat until the host confirms.

Actuate and Asian Hustle Network already co-brand spacetech nights on the Seattle Circuit map, and Singapore Global Network adds a corridor angle for operators with Singapore or ASEAN ties. Space Northwest’s Seattle Space Week page is the useful second source for the week’s broader programming if you want to stack mornings or other evenings around this panel. Olive Way evening egress is easier than a Bellevue hop for most downtown and SLU readers, but still leave buffer for rush hour and building check-in at Washington 1000.

This is right for Asian and diaspora founders, operators, and investors who already work space, aerospace, or dual-use tech and want peer introductions during Space Week. Skip it if you need a full Formation to Funding workshop the next afternoon and can only clear one room, or if you want a free career mixer without a space industry filter. Bring one concrete company or diligence question so panel Q&A and hallway time stay usable. Confirm approval status on Luma before you block travel from the Eastside or Snohomish.

If you are choosing between this Tuesday panel and Cooley’s Formation to Funding session on October 1, stay here for Space Week networking density with Charter, Canopy, and Spacedock voices; use Wednesday for the longer formation and legal-scaling agenda. Start on luma.com/hfgmp2zg, wait for approval, and re-check Space Northwest’s Seattle Space Week page if you want the week’s full map. Keep the Luma confirmation handy for Olive Way check-in.
