Three of the world's most powerful tech companies are heading to public markets in 2026 but none of them are profitable. From reusable rockets to large language models, the mega-IPOs of SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic are bringing new technologies and innovations to the forefront. What do they actually promise, and what else should we expect?

We discuss: 

• Rocket Science vs. Hype: What genuinely world-changing technology sits beneath SpaceX's $1.75 trillion valuation and whether Starship can deliver on its promise of cheap, accessible space travel.

• AI in Space: Why Elon Musk wants a million satellites above Earth, and how data centres in orbit solve problems that plague those on the ground.

• Safety as a Selling Point: Whether Anthropic's safety-first approach to AI is a real technical differentiator.

• What Comes Next: Beyond AI and space, the sectors and early-stage bets that serious investors are quietly watching right now.
