The Space Infrastructure Race

Wednesday 10 June 2026
Deep Tech Stage
SpaceTech & Robotics

Space is now critical infrastructure. Satellites underpin AI, finance, climate systems and defence. As orbital assets multiply and geopolitical tension rises, sovereignty in space becomes an industrial question, not a symbolic one. 

This session examines how nations build, deploy and protect dual-use space capability at scale, turning commercial innovation into interoperable, resilient systems across trusted partners.

  • What space capabilities must allied nations physically build, secure and coordinate to remain strategically resilient in the 2030s?

  • How do dual-use space systems move from venture-backed startups to trusted infrastructure?

  • Where do orbital, launch, data or supply chain dependencies quietly undermine collective security at scale?
