I woke up in Kigali to hear the news that Pres #Trump was shot at during a rally. I'm in Rwanda to observe & analyse their elections, and all I can think of is the irony of some who condemn Rwanda's political system while this is going on in the US.

Ariane vs SpaceX: A reflection on the power of young startups and the perils of underestimating them.

2 Days ago, the Ariane-5, Europe's heavy-lift rocket, launched its final mission after 27 years, leaving Europe in a difficult position, with no replacement ready to take over.

At the same time, SpaceX, the private company founded by Elon Musk, now launches a rocket every week and can do so much more cheaply by reusing parts of the rocket.

Just 10 years ago at the Singapore Sattelite Industry Forum, the then-CEO of Ariane was on stage dismissing SpaceX's ambitions as mere dreams.
With this week's retirement of Ariane 5, it's checkmate time, as the European countries that founded Ariane, will now have to rely on SpaceX for a foreseeable future.

SpaceX and Ariane, represent two different approaches to space exploration.
While Ariane is an established governmental agency with decades of experience, SpaceX emerged as a dynamic startup challenging the status quo.

Their contrasting journeys highlight the importance of not underestimating ambitious startups.
Let's delve deeper!

SpaceX, driven by a bold vision and innovative spirit, disrupted the space industry by embracing an entrepreneurial mindset.
They developed the Falcon 1, a small and affordable rocket that faced initial setbacks but ultimately succeeded.
This triumph paved the way for the groundbreaking Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy, revolutionizing the concept of reusable rockets and drastically reducing launch costs.
Starship, which is a huge rocket being developed by SpaceX, will even further cement its dominance in this industry.
SpaceX's audacity captured the world's attention, inspiring others to dream big.

In contrast, Ariane, a venerable institution, had been operating in a different landscape. Backed by government funding and corporate support, they relied on well-established models and traditional approaches to space exploration.
While this offered stability, it also constrained their agility and ability to adapt swiftly to changing industry dynamics.
Ariane's achievements cannot be undermined, but the lack of competition and urgency hampered innovation.

The rise of SpaceX revealed the importance of nurturing and supporting young and ambitious startups.
By providing opportunities and resources, we enable fresh perspectives, groundbreaking technologies, and unconventional thinking.

Big corporates must not dismiss or undermine these startups merely due to their size and lack of experience.

SpaceX's triumphs have not only shaken up the space industry but also inspired other startups worldwide.
Their success has demonstrated that even established players should remain vigilant and adaptable.

Disruptive startups, armed with passion, agility, and a hunger for innovation, can often outmaneuver large corporates by identifying untapped opportunities and leveraging emerging technologies.

Therefore, the space industry serves as a compelling metaphor for the broader business landscape.

Just as Ariane faced the consequences of complacency, big corporates across industries risk being left behind if they dismiss startups as inconsequential.
Collaboration, open-mindedness, and an ecosystem that fosters innovation are crucial in today's fast-paced world.

At Norrsken, we are building a culture of collaboration between established businesses and startups.
Some of the most open-minded institutions in Kigali are setting shop at Norrsken for an opportunity to forge close relationships with a vibrant community of 200+ startups that are present here.

The new building under construction is particularly designed to accommodate entire departments such as tech/R&D of already established domestic and int'l businesses.

By working together, we can unlock a future of limitless possibilities and avoid being the next Ariane.

Are the Chinese really planning to invade Taiwan? Will the US get involved as Biden confirmed?

Can this all lead to a US-China war, possibly WW3?
