OASA's Founding Chairman

***OASA will set aside and sponsor the annual fee for a student member, for every new individual adult paid membership. Nevertheless…

“Space is for everybody, but OASA, is for a select few. This Academy
accepts only the courageous, grounded, and broad minded creators of new businesses… the true explorers who can help push and define our
NewSpace economy.” 
Dr. Gregg Li
 Founding Chairman
We welcome young talents from all disciplines with different backgrounds. Students who have an "astropreneurial" mindset, sense the arrival of the NewSpace Economy, and are eager to equip themselves  with the right set of competencies are the types of members we want. We want explorers who are bold enough to explore the wonders of entrepreneurship in the Space economy with OASA.

Join Us and Let's go through the journey together!

Vision

Space is all around us. It is the true “Nature.” With the right technology we can sense a new universe and in this new universe. Sustainable businesses are not purely about technology, but technologies for the right markets and being led by the right talents with a foundation in digital understanding. Without data, and data downlink from space, our city cannot be a Smart City.

How do we make Hong Kong a Space Portal by 2030?

Values

Studies have shown that when we work together, journey together, and solve challenging problems together, our sense of wellbeing becomes much more positive. If nothing else, working together to create a better future world, on new fun projects that will stretch our minds and educate our youths, is certainly worth doing. We want to see the best use of space for humanity, and not for any single nation or state.

Impact

We work with companies to redefine their new markets, coach and mentor their young talents, help secure their sponsors, ground their ESG, and begin the journey of exploration. We work with them to improve their Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR), encouraging these businesses to build and deliver products and services that truly create more joy in people's lives. Our intent is not to cause harm. We do not want these businesses to cause harm -- to the environment, to their customers, or to their staff, and definitely not to Space Ship Earth.

OASA interns

Listen to our interns say

My 2021 OASA summer internship was a spectacular experience to say the least. Very rare would you find in summer internships the extensive roles and learning opportunities as OASA. Working among a team of industry-experienced mentors and inclusive team members, I had the opportunity to touch, learn, and explore upon different fields, ranging from research to marketing and more. In addition, many of my highlights of the experience are through the countless external engagement opportunities throughout the program, following the team to different organisations and public occasions.
Justin YAM, UBC Vancouver 
My role started off as a business intern and ended as a membership executive. One of my key tasks was to develop a marketing campaign to help recruit members. I was able to apply many of the skills that I’ve learnt into the workplace. This included my communication and time management skills in particular as I worked very closely under the directives of the management board.
SEan Leung, NewCastle UK
My internship with OASA gave me great hands-on experience as well as a much better understanding of which skill sets and areas of knowledge I should work on to prepare myself for the competitive workplace.
