Private capital, launch innovation, and satellite infrastructure are accelerating the development of the new space economy. As this market gains momentum, enterprises and investors are beginning to ask a more practical set of questions: What happens when digital infrastructure moves beyond Earth? Could datacenters operate in orbit? Is it feasible to get them there? And what would that mean for energy, sustainability, sovereignty, security, and scale?

Join experts from across S&P Global for a discussion on the emerging space economy, anchored by the SpaceX IPO, its Starlink satellite broadband service, and growing interest in orbital datacenter ambitions. The session will explore:

• Capital flows and M&A activity in this emerging market
• Infrastructure requirements, technical barriers and sustainability implications of digital infrastructure in orbit
• The practical realities of building and operating technology infrastructure in space
