The estimated value of the space economy stands at $470 billion in 2022, while Citi forecasts space industry revenues to reach $1 trillion by the year 2040. Vast new opportunities are opening up for business to both participate and benefit from space activities.
The Business in Space segment will meet the local ecosystem and leading space companies, giving insight into some of the most innovative solutions on the market. The day will focus on the following topics:
Business in Space will shed light on the industry’s latest achievements, potential hurdles and challenges to growth in the industry, and new opportunities for commercial activity.
Science is the source of space innovation. Fundamental science is the main arena of non-commercial international collaboration in space, while applied science brings great discoveries closer to practical benefit.
Science in Space is meant to raise awareness on local research efforts and create a platform for domestic and international collaborations, discussions, exchange of ideas and new opportunities for young scientists.
