DTTE#86- Jeff Krukin- Small Business Showcase

Defense Technology Talks Episode #86 Today’s Guest is Jeff Krukin (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffkrukin/). He is a consultant for Earth-Space Commerce Advisors, LLC
The space industry is becoming increasingly commercial, resulting in dramatically reduced barriers to 1) selling your products to space companies, 2) manufacturing your products in space, and 3) serving your customers with data obtained from satellites. This means new business opportunities across various markets, both within and outside the space industry. It is often said that every company is IT because it needs IT to run its business and maximize revenue opportunities. Space is the new IT, and if you aren't integrating space with your business, you will fall behind your competitors. Put another way. Your business needs a space strategy just like an IT one.
