Alexander Holt ^{Top-Executive}

I am a global innovation leader working at the intersection of entrepreneurship, investment, government and emerging technologies.

As Managing Director of Seraphim Space Enterprise, the acceleration and insights division of Seraphim Space, I help startups, investors, corporates and governments navigate the rapidly evolving SpaceTech landscape. Combining proprietary market intelligence with one of the world's leading space ecosystems, I work with my team to accelerate high-growth companies, strengthen innovation ecosystems, and connect organisations with the opportunities emerging across the space economy.

Prior to joining Seraphim, I spent a decade in the Scottish Government where I founded CivTech, Europe's first GovTech accelerator, and established the GovTech Global Alliance, an international network of public sector innovation teams spanning more than twenty countries. Through these initiatives I championed open innovation, entrepreneurship and international collaboration to address complex public challenges and accelerate technology adoption.

Throughout my career I have focused on building ecosystems, creating partnerships and helping organisations turn ambitious ideas into scalable ventures. I am passionate about identifying emerging opportunities, connecting the right people and institutions, and creating the conditions that enable innovation to flourish across borders.

My experience spans venture acceleration, ecosystem development, government innovation, international partnerships, strategic advisory, public speaking and investment readiness. Whether supporting founders, advising governments or convening global stakeholders, my goal is always the same: to unlock innovation that delivers meaningful economic and societal impact.
