The space industry is in a state of massive growth and transformation, driven by both public and private sector investments. Advancements in technology, commercialization, and globalization have opened the industry to emerging startups and tangential companies resulting in a dynamic and competitive landscape.

The ongoing complexity of changing regulatory and procurement schemes, increasingly aggressive government enforcement, and competition from consolidating and global rivals present a host of issues. Shifting demand intensifies the need to innovate and protect innovation.  At the same time, uncertainty in the market paired with global budget delays put deal and financing activity in check while pressuring constant improvements in efficiency and profitability. To succeed amid these challenges, companies must anticipate what’s next and not just react to what’s now.
