    Orion is a nebula where many stars are born. It is one of the closest nebulae to Earth in the Milky Way galaxy, making it more accessible to astronomers and earthlings.   Hence, our OASA is a nurturing ground, where outgoing global executives would pass their legacy to future generations, working jointly on problems of tomorrow. It is an open platform where companies and leaders can cross-pollinate nascent ideas.   Ultimately, space is for all humankind.

     

    The Orion Astropreneur Space Academy in Hong Kong is an independent, non-political, and not-for-profit action-oriented leadership development academy for global young leaders with stellar and outer space aspirations. The Academy is a member of the global leadership development initiatives with other space onboarding and off-boarding institutions such as the Laboratory for Space Research at the University of Hong Kong, and other forward-looking and space-related institutions and world-class educators who believe together we can connect, contribute, and make a meaningful contribution through active transformation.

     

    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.

     
     
  • Our Vision

    Space Portal, Hong Kong by 2030. Your Smart City, by 2030 as well?

    On 12 Feb 2021, the Academy begins its operation by opening its global headquarters in Hong Kong, near Observatory Road.

    Why Space? ​Why Starting from Hong Kong?

    Without data, and data downlink from space from satellites, our city cannot be a Smart City.

     

    Seeing such connectivity and boundless reality expands our mind-sight and prepare us better for innovation opportunities and adaptation. More importantly, working and journeying together to find these use cases with, and for our entrepreneurs, will certainly bring forth more positive energy.

     

    Join us, show up, and front up!

  • Our Missions

    We observe. We experiment. We test and explore nascent digital markets. We promote good business cases. 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.
