Martin Kamprath leads and synthesizes the development of new product and service systems for markets that emerge. At PTScientists, an unconventional Space startup driven by the vision of building Europe’s first commercial Moon Lander business, he is responsible to channel internal and external ideas, build relationships with partners, define value propositions and interact with potential customers.

As recently the public attention shifts towards the Moon, Public Private Partnerships are tempted by the possibility of mining oxygen and hydrogen from lunar ice. With his background, Martin helps to translate such long-term visions in strategic goals and tactic operations with PPP consortia partners.

Martin has extensive experience in managing high-volume investment programs for Deep Technologies and “Moonshot projects”. His previous positions put him at the interface of startups, venture capital, politics and large organizations. He managed internal corporate venture funds with an 8-digit investment sum to support science-based startups, innovation labs and validation projects (TLR 3-7). Given this broad spectrum of technology fields, Martin can quickly immerse himself in the business side of various complex technologies.

Martin lived in Toronto and Budapest and earned his doctorate in innovation management with honors.
