There is no doubt that the new space race is on. From carrying space tourists into orbit to launching new constellations, Space infrastructure companies received $14.5 billion of private investment in 2021 - a new annual record that was more than 50% up from 2020.

Often, this means investing in technologies to ensure your agility for whatever the future brings.
