Will space services be the game changer for the aviation sector in 2022? How will space services make your aviation business more effective and capable?
This year the Space Forum creates an opportunity for attendees to learn more about new data services revolutionizing passenger experiences, how satellite connectivity will change everything from entertainment to maintenance and how low cost access to space is going to enable your business to truly use space tech.
What are the biggest opportunities in the new space ecosystem? Where is there immediate growth and what are the longer-term technology channels that will create new services and real revenue generating business? How does space fit into wider national development plans and the growth of a knowledge-based economy?
Space launch services are expected to record strong growth in 2021, with the market forecast to grow more than 15.7% year over year. As launch costs are driven down and the ability to rapidly produce small sats is ramped up how will the space sector become more responsive to customer needs? Which service base will provide the biggest opportunity?
Demand for aero connectivity in broad terms is generated for entertainment purposes in flight. Inmarsat's 2018 survey suggests that about 67% of the passengers are likely to rebook with an airline if inflight Wi-Fi were available. How will space technology enable airline to meet growing demand for connectivity “anywhere and anytime”? How can airline focus on enabling In-Flight Connectivity (IFC) over In-Flight Entertainment (IFE)?
IoT and M2M will be the demand pillars for the satcom market.. The satellite IoT market is achieving growing revenues with a market forecast reaching USD 5.9B in 2025. As investment takes place what does this mean for the aviation sector, and how will there services revolutionise the way airlines operate and maintain aircraft. And, as a huge amount of data and IP is generated, who will own it?
How are organisations in the space sector combining multiple digital technologies such as Cloud, Machine Learning, and Blockchain to build a meaningful competitive advantage? How are the upstream and downstream segments being effected, and how are the technologies supporting more scalable and innovative business models that are democratizing access to the space sector?
What is the UAE’s vision for engagement with the wider aerospace sector? What are the updates on the UAE astronaut programme, the Hope Probe mission and future activities. How does the UAE's space programme currently engage with aerospace industry players and what are the opportunities for involvement in future programmes and technologies?
How has the COVID-19 experience driven demand for connectivity services from satellite platforms? What are the challenges and opportunities that have been identified, and how can operators respond fast to capitalise on demand for service growth? What are the technologies that will enable the next wave of global connectivity?
With the establishment the “Space Force” as a sixth branch of the US military and other nations developing space commands and strengthening capabilities in space, how will developments drive public sector investment in 2021 and beyond? How will the defence sector support A&D companies in accelerating investments in innovative technologies and capabilities that form infrastructure and backbone enabling military activities and operations.
Space exploration is expected to continue to evolve and grow in 2021 due to declining launch costs and advances in technology. What can organisations and programmes do now to take advantage of new launch technologies? Will private companies determine the future of space exploration? Will there be a private space exploration economy in the next decade.
