Why Now? Don’t Miss out.

The global space economy is experiencing significant growth, with the market expected to reach  $772 billion by 2027. This growth is driven by steady private and public sector investments, with commercial revenues accounting for 78% of the total economy. By 2035, the space economy is projected to triple to $1.8 trillion*, fueled by lower costs and wider access to space-enabled technologies. This rapid expansion highlights the importance of understanding the space ecosystem and positioning oneself to take advantage of the emerging opportunities.

What is the Space Insiders Corner?  

An Interactive Thought Leadership Experience: Space Insiders Corner is an informal yet high-impact interactive zone during SpacePath Bootcamp, designed to engage participants who are not in 1:1 consulting sessions. It features a rotating lineup of space industry experts and thought leaders engaging in real-time, open dialogue with attendees.

It’s a dynamic, immersive, and candid conversation where participants can pull back the curtain on the space economy—its opportunities, challenges, innovations, and trajectories. The tone is conversational, meant to empower participants to ask bold questions, challenge assumptions, and explore nuanced aspects of space entrepreneurship and business growth.
