The global space economy will be worth $1.8 trillion by 2035, up from $630 billion in 2023 – almost twice the rate of global GDP growth, according to the World Economic Forum. This growth is transforming life here on Earth and our understanding of the universe beyond — and startups are playing a critical role. What does this mean for founders, investors and the ecosystems that support them?
In this fireside chat moderated by GEN Space Director Stephan Reckier, attendees will learn why now is the time to invest in space and where the commercial opportunities are for investors. Working to longer timelines, unfamiliar territory, and a largely unregulated sector offers challenges and opportunities for private investment. This session will take a warts-and-all look at where leaders are deploying capital and where they see prospects in the sector.
