Why SPACE20 exists
The next space race is an infrastructure race.
For decades, the defining question was whether we could reach space.
Now the question is what we will build there, who will finance it, who will operate it, and which companies will become the infrastructure behind the next global economy.
- Communications
- Navigation
- Defense
- Energy
- AI + Compute
- Robotics
- Manufacturing
- Data
- Logistics
- Finance
- Insurance
- Cybersecurity
The companies that build the next space economy will not all look like space companies.
Some will build spacecraft.
Others will build the networks that connect them, the intelligence that operates them, the energy that powers them, the financial systems that fund them, the logistics that support them and the security that protects them.
The next commercial space economy will be built at the intersection of industries that once operated separately.

This conversation happens in Miami on December 13.
Capital is the bridge between possibility and infrastructure.
There is no shortage of ambition in space.
The harder question is which ideas can become companies, which companies can become platforms, and which platforms can become infrastructure.
That requires more than technology.
It requires customers. Government demand. Institutional capital. Private investment. Strategic investment. Project finance. Banks. Insurance. Long-duration capital.
- 01What must be built?
- 02Who will buy it?
- 03Who can deliver it?
- 04How will it be financed?
- 05What needs to happen now for it to reach scale?
SPACE20 puts those questions at the center.
Meet the people building it — and the capital financing it.
The timing is not accidental.
As global leadership, capital and industry converge on Miami around the G20, another economic conversation needs to happen.
The G20 is concerned with the systems that shape the world economy. SPACE20 focuses on a system becoming increasingly important to that economy: space.
While the world discusses the future of the global economy, SPACE20 brings together the people building one of its next critical layers.
SPACE20 is independently organized and is not an official G20 event.
The people defining the need must meet the people capable of building it — and the capital capable of scaling it.
- 01Government + space agencies
- 02Space + aerospace leaders
- 03Technology companies
- 04Founders + emerging companies
- 05Institutional investors
- 06Private capital
- 07Banks + financial institutions
- 08Strategic industry
- 09International leadership
Government brings priorities.
Industry brings operating capability.
Technology brings what becomes possible.
Entrepreneurs bring what has not existed before.
Capital determines what can reach scale.
SPACE20 brings those conversations together.
Not gathered simply to talk about the future.
Gathered to determine what gets built next.
Where the leaders shaping space meet the capital shaping what comes next.
