Tech Expert Hal Raveche Moderates Global Space & Technology Dialog

    NEW YORK, NY, March 05, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- US innovation expert Dr. Hal Raveche served as the moderator of a major, high-level dialog on Defense and Security during the Global Space and Technology Convention (GSTC), held Feb. 11-13, 2015, at the Sheraton Towers, Singapore.

Dr. Raveche led off the extensive dialog, whose theme was crystallized as "Clear Identification and Recognition Systems for the Modern Battlefield."

"Leveraging our satellite technology to enhance detection and identification, in support of field commanders, is a game-changer in today's complex theater of operations," said Raveche. "Such systems and capabilities can be employed in wartime and peacetime - for the latter, to support disaster-management SAR missions, for example. Nations must understand the rationale and advantages of such systems to augment their offensive and defensive capabilities." Raveche is an advocate of the sentiment expressed by Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore's Founder, that a vibrant economy is linked to a strong defense.

Dr. Raveche is the Founder and President of Innovation Strategies International, a US-based consulting firm that assists universities, corporations and government agencies with entrepreneurship and innovation. He served for more than two decades as the president of Stevens Institute of Technology in New Jersey, USA.

Along with Dr. Raveche, the Defense & Security dialog was conducted by an eminent group that included Mr. William B.P. Von Kader, Export Business Development & Sales Manager, AirBus Defence; Mr. Diego Calabrese, E2E system manager of COSMO Second Generation, Thales Alenia Space; Mr. James B. Armor, Vice President, Strategy and Business Development, ATK; Prof. Dr. Hans Martin Braun, Shareholder, Radar Systemtechnik (RST); and Mr. Eric Andreu, Defence Industry Manager, AirBus Defence & Space.

The Global Space and Technology Convention is Asia's premier Space and Technology event. The inaugural conference-cum-exhibition was launched in 2008 and has since been held annually in Singapore. Dr. Raveche has served as a GSTC speaker and moderator for the past several conferences.

GSTC brings together the international Space community, comprised of government and industry leaders and professional bodies, as well as research and academic organizations, to showcase the latest in Space design concepts, products and services. It is a neutral platform to grow mindshare of the Space sector among government, industry and academia, as well as to foster international and regional collaborations and partnerships.

GSTC facilitates international business development, and provides companies and individuals a unique opportunity to network with pioneers and peers in the Space community.

Dr. Raveche's advice is valued by businesses, universities and government agencies for its practical impact on establishing and sustaining an organizational culture for entrepreneurship and innovation.
