Investment in space initiatives and related fields has grown exponentially in recent years, posing a range of questions regarding the rules of governing the activity.

What are the key incentives and key hurdles to attracting private sector to the space industry and what are the prospects for growth of private investment in Russia and elsewhere, given the specifics of development of space technologies? What should be done to fully benefit from investments and when is public–private partnership the most effective form of collaboration?
