Space isn’t just for rockets – it’s for revenue
Bruay’s talk focused on the factory of the future, where microgravity becomes a manufacturing tool, not the setting for sci-fi. He’ll explain how Varda is turning the vacuum of space into a production line for high-value materials – from new, life-saving pharmaceuticals to more powerful fiber optic cables and why orbit may soon be the most profitable real estate in the known universe.

building factories among the stars
As a former SpaceX engineer who helped fly Dragon on eight missions to the ISS, William Bruy knows what it takes to innovate where gravity doesn’t apply. Now at Varda Space Industries, he is leading a new kind of factory – one that orbits Earth, creates vital materials, then re-enters the atmosphere to deliver products that can’t be made anywhere else.
Before launching Varda, Bruye led Global Equities Technology at Bank of America and holds degrees in Applied Physics (Cornell) and Systems Engineering. A pilot and engineer at heart, he is equally adept at home-made coding algorithms or flying his own Kozi Mk4 aircraft. Learn more about it in their Space Stage session.
