The space industry is at a crucial turning point: moving away from being a playground for governments toward becoming a billion-dollar market. One company that has paved the way is Elon Musk’s SpaceX. These are the kinds of companies that have set out to revolutionize space travel. At the same time, aerospace centers and highly specialized companies around the world are working intensively on new innovative technologies, materials, and concepts to push the boundaries of space exploration.

The passion for uncovering untapped potential in space exploration unites the two co-founders of Alpine Space Ventures, Joram Voelklein and Bulent Altan.

“Right from our first meeting, it was clear that we were a good match, because he spoke plainly with me on a panel,” says Joram Voelklein about his first encounter with his future business partner Bulent Altan. That meeting in 2018 led to the founding of a venture capital firm for space projects: Alpine Space Ventures was born.

Key question today: New Space – what impact do venture capital investments have on the expansion, scaling, and strategic positioning of the aerospace industry?

Drones are true game changers and much more than just a flexible and energy-efficient means of transport. They are proving to be real all-rounders with the potential to play a crucial role in many areas of application—and even take on entirely new tasks. For example, in the delivery of medication, where faster transport can save lives.

A visionary in this field is Herbert Weirather, an aerospace engineer who founded Jedsy, a startup for cargo drones. With the founding of the company, Weirather is actively working to enable efficient and responsive medication transport in developing countries.

“I started flying model airplanes when I was twelve—I’ve just always loved building things,” says Herbert Weirather, reflecting on his first encounters with aviation. His passion for flying runs like a thread through his life: in 2016, he launched the first Drone Champions League, a racing series for remote-controlled flying devices. He now brings this wealth of experience into the world of autonomous delivery drones.

“Modern medicine needs digital support,” a call from Federal Health Minister Karl Lauterbach for the digitalization of the German healthcare system.

There are many construction sites in this area—starting with health data from the electronic patient record (ePA), the electronic certificate of incapacity for work (eAU), and the e-prescription, which came into effect on July 1, 2023. It’s not uncommon to hear voices from the medical field complaining about issues with software updates, transmission errors, unresponsive IT service providers, or missing infrastructure in pharmacies when redeeming digital prescriptions. The problems are complex and multifaceted.

“I founded out of necessity,” says today’s guest, Dr. Daniel Fallscheer, who knows the pitfalls of healthcare digitalization all too well. He is the co-founder and CEO of DasLab. With DasLab, Fallscheer has created a digital infrastructure platform that enables universal access to medical diagnostics. The startup aims to make the entire healthcare ecosystem more effective and efficient—by connecting the various stakeholders within the healthcare system.
