Space is Officially Open For Business

The seemingly untouchable futuristic lifestyle of The Jetsons might not be as far away as you think. The idea of space’s exploratory role is rapidly evolving, proving to be an area of business that could reshape industries across the globe. 

This year at SXSW 2025, it was made clear that when it comes to all things out in the universe, it’s no longer merely a mission-based topic area, but a market full of commercial opportunities. 

Key industries like healthcare, communications, and transportation are beginning to seamlessly mesh with all things space.

Whether it’s using microgravity to advance health research or building the infrastructure for off-Earth living, space is playing a crucial role in shaping our future.

A New Era of Exploration

The market for space is projected to continue expanding into the core sectors of global business. Whether you’re in media, healthcare, or tech, there’s a seat for you at the table.
