Minister

The Asgardia Minister of Manufacturing is Jacob Mulder. He was voted in during the XII Sitting of the Asgardian Parliament, as per the procedure set forth in the Space Nation Constitution, and joined the Cabinet in June 2021.

Before that he was Member of Parliament in the Safety and Security Committee and the Manufacturing Committee.

He joined Asgardia in 2019, when he also presented during Asgardia's first Space Science and Investment Congress on a “Sustainable Space Colony Swarm Architecture” and his need to emigrate to space.

He blogs on Asgardia's website, his CV is here and his Motivation Letter supporting his application for the role of Minister of Manufacturing is here . In July 2021 an interview on him appeared on the Asgardia website and on JacobTo.Space a number of other interviews can be found.

Jacob is also ICT Security and Enterprise Architect at CGI, chair of Paletzorg, owner of MADmelange.com, visiting consultant at the University of Groningen and member of Platform Toegankelijk Westerkwartier.

Asgardia is paving the way for living in space and the Ministry of Manufacturing plays an important part in that endeavor. In my term as Minister of Manufacturing I would like to implement a number of foundations that help pave the way for manufacturing and doing business in general in the Asgardian context.

My personal dream is very much related to this. I am currently convincing CGI Space to collaborate with commercial aerospace companies, and in parallel, within Asgardia I want to create the foundations for manufacturing and as a Service. Combining these two, the power of economy and business and the power of Asgardia, I am working on a personal self-fulfilling prophecy. Gravity squeezes my spine, so I want to escape gravity by emigrating to space, some 15 years from now.

I strongly believe that the sky is no limit.
