Elias Said Montanari (born Elias Montanari in July 1971) is an Italian-born British academic, entrepreneur and investor.

Academic career and research edit

Montanari has a Master in Chemical Engineering[1] and entered the Space sector at the European Space Agency (ESA) in the early 2000s as a senior executive.[2][3][4]

His work on evaluating the socio-economic impact of space applications using econometric analysis, rather than the traditional industrial policy, led to publications on the impact of ESA's involvement with small and medium enterprises.[5][6]

His work focuses on improving econometric assessments of the Space economy, particularly regarding their relevance to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.[7]

Montanari aims to continue his research of Space deep technology within the MIT Development Economics in the United States at the DEDP with prof. David Autor. His work on the development of Space in UK is part of the impact assessment of the government.[8]

In 2022, Montanari served as governance member at the European Union Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA) in Prague[9], where he studied the impacts of satellite-based air traffic management on CO2 emissions.[10]

Montanari is frequently invited to provide talks on how to improve the fostering of a Space ecosystem for aspiring Space faring nations.[11]

Investment activities edit

Montanari is the founder of SpaceBrains, a not-for-profit charity dedicated to angel investments in space startups and space scholarships.[12][13]

SpaceBrains funded PhDs and Masters scholarships in the space sector through the first space memorabilia auction in partnership with Artcurial in Paris.[14][15]

He has served as advisor and mentor to organizations including YPO, the London Stock Exchange ELITE program, and OptimizeGroup.[16]

Philanthropy edit

Montanari raised funds for Access Sport and completed the SCHWIM (English Channel Swim) in the summer 2023.[17]

Other philanthropic adventures include summiting the Matterhorn in the summer 2021, raising funds for UK prostate cancer.[18]
