Varda’s William Bruey's plan to build the next supply chain at Disrupt 2025

Varda Space Industries plans to establish manufacturing in low Earth orbit, transforming space into a production hub for high-value materials. This innovation could redefine supply chains and economic opportunities beyond Earth.

At TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, William Bruey, founder and CEO of Varda Space Industries, will outline his vision for manufacturing in low Earth orbit. Varda is pioneering a new type of factory that leverages microgravity to produce high-value materials that cannot be manufactured on Earth. This includes lifesaving pharmaceuticals and advanced fiber optic cables. Bruey, a former SpaceX engineer, believes that orbit could become the most profitable real estate, transforming the space economy. His presentation will highlight how this innovative approach could reshape supply chains and create new economic opportunities, marking a significant step in the evolution of industrial processes.
