In this episode of The Techne Connect, Paolo Pino, Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder of Volta Space Technologies, speaks about how his team is building wireless energy transmission systems to power lunar missions and extend their lifespan from days to years.

Paolo shares his journey from academia to entrepreneurship, his work developing Volta’s first space-qualified laser systems, and the challenges of bridging theoretical research with real-world innovation.
