What an incredible week in Paris at World Space Business Week. All of our coverage is here, and tune in you haven't had a chance to watch our CEO Series.

Our next virtual event examines the Space Investment Horizon, and we've added another panelist – Masashi Sato, co-founder, director and chief strategy officer at SPACETIDE. He brings a perspective from Asia. Details below with the registration link.

OCT. 8 AT 11 AM ET

The Space Investment Horizon

From inflationary pressures and shifting interest rates to supply chain challenges and an intensifying great-power competition, today's macroeconomic and geopolitical forces are reshaping the future of space investment. For investors and businesses, navigating this environment means balancing capital market dynamics, technology cycles and an increasingly complex landscape of export controls, trade restrictions, and government influence.

This virtual event will bring together leading experts and executives to examine:

How macroeconomic trends, from interest rates to capital availability, are shaping early- and late-stage space financing.
The impact of geopolitical tensions on cross-border investment flows.
Whether government-led demand and sovereign wealth strategies are amplifying — or crowding out — private capital.
The role of consolidation and mergers and acquisitions in building resilience amid uncertainty.
Where the next wave of growth capital is most likely to emerge in this turbulent environment.

Join us Oct. 8 for an in-depth discussion on what the future holds for space finance against today's shifting global backdrop.
