With a potential $1 trillion value tag by 2030, the “space renaissance”—a period when technological innovation is significantly reducing costs, creating major scientific advances, and forging groundbreaking joint ventures—has well and truly taken off.

But as distant as the space sector may seem, it’s not only a growth area in itself, but also a key enabler of growth and innovation in other sectors closer to home, driving major developments across diverse industries, including energy, telecommunications, aviation, and agriculture, among many others. Tech advances in the space domain have also reshaped our view of the world, providing greater transparency and an unparalleled view from above of everything from geopolitical conflicts to climate change.

In this episode, FFWD’s Lee Brailey talks with Michele Scataglini, partner at Silicon Foundry and associate fellow at Said Business School at the University of Oxford, to discuss the latest “space for space” and “space for earth” tech trends, collaborations, and deployment tactics that are accelerating growth within the sector. They also highlight how these developments are transcending industry boundaries to create new business models that can be adopted by earth-bound organizations to advance their own innovation agenda.
