Elias Said Montanari (born Elias Montanari in July 1971) is an Italian-born British academic, entrepreneur and investor.
Early life
Montanari was born in Italy and raised around the marshes and agricultural plains of Ravenna. As a youth, he had an interest in Italian literature and studied the chemical phenomena behind the production of wine, vinegar from the local vineyards and built a specialty distillation unit for producing grappa at Mazzari Distillery.[1][2]
Academic career
Montanari was a chemical engineer in the oil and fast moving consumer goods sectors before entering the Space sector at the European Space Agency (ESA) in the early 2000s.[3][4][5]
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.[6][7]
In 2022, Montanari served as governance member at the European Union Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA) in Prague[8], where he published a study on the impacts of satellite-based air traffic management on CO2 emissions.[9]
His work has been focused on improving econometric assessments of the Space economy, particularly regarding their relevance to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.[10][11]
Investment activities
Montanari is the founder of SpaceBrains, a not-for-profit charity dedicated to angel investments in space startups and space scholarships. [12][13][14]
SpaceBrains funded PhDs and Masters scholarships in the space sector through the first space memorabilia auction in partnership with Artcurial in Paris. [15]
He has served as advisor and mentor to organizations including YPO, the London Stock Exchange ELITE program, and OptimizeGroup. [16]
Education
Montanari holds a Master's degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Bologna. After joining the European Space Agency, he furthered his education with a Master's in Business from the Henley Business School in the UK.
Montanari further his research within the MIT Development Economics mini-master's program in the United States.
