There is even more to space innovation than the fledgling space tourism sector.

Space has the potential to be the cloud beyond the clouds, with entrepreneurs large and small creating a global space tech ecosystem covering data and artificial intelligence systems, aerial imagery, remote sensing and more.

Traditionally, access to space has been extremely expensive and largely the domain of government space agencies.

Lower prices for launch services after 2010 enabled significant space launch market competition that had not been present previously.

With the rising population of satellites, space debris presents potential danger to all space vehicles, including to the International Space Station.

There are infinite possibilities of space tech and what it can mean for business and, importantly, our planet-from space internet of things to asset tracking via satellite to AI-enabled Earth observation with its vast data analytics capabilities to help us better protect and manage Mother Earth.
