Business Plans. SIS-3 invites entrepreneurs to
submit space commerce business plans for consideration at the SIS-3 investor forum. A panel of investors and space commerce experts
will evaluate applicant entrepreneur business plans, select top candidates
and invite the entrepreneurs selected to either present their business plans
or exhibit at the SIS-3
investor forum, or both present and exhibit.
Market areas to be considered are biotechnology, pharmaceuticals,
materials, satellite services (communications, navigation, and observation),
transportation, media, tourism, entertainment, advertising and others. Crucial selection criteria are business
plan quality and amount of private investment already obtained. Of special interest are innovative business
plans for enterprises that address markets: (1) in space; (2) enabled by
space; (3) now commercially productive but which include an incremental plan
for activities extending into space; and (4) that present the space
experience. Entrepreneurial Exhibit. Business plans selected by the Application Process.

limited number of applications will be accepted on a “first come, first
served” basis. Entrepreneurs are encouraged to submit
applications as soon as possible in order to be considered. All
applications will be evaluated by the SIS-3
panel of investors and space commerce experts. Based on the criteria as described above,

additional information. Registration Fees.
