The space economy is entering a new phase as activity expands beyond launch and satellites toward sustained operations, emerging markets and a growing lunar economy. During this session, we’ll:

Explore why space, why now.
Discuss what this shift means for business—using the Moon as a lens for understanding the infrastructure, connectivity and commercial systems required to support sustained activity beyond Earth.
Explain how advances in telecom and other terrestrial industries can both enable and benefit from this next phase of the space economy.

Drawing on Deloitte’s lunar economy research and perspectives across the space ecosystem, participants will discover the foundational infrastructure needed to build a sustained presence on the Moon, why those capabilities matter today, and how communications, energy, mobility and other critical systems could enable the next generation of space-enabled markets.
