The space economy is picking up speed. Once considered an uninvestable sector, the entire sector is now attracting the attention of entrepreneurs and small businesses. Between the miniaturization of satellite components and a 10x reduction in the cost of rocket launches, the final frontier is finally becoming economically affordable for a new wave of space-borne ventures.
Even though this makes for great news headlines, what will the new space race mean for investors? Are there specific commercial applications that offer the greatest opportunities? What impact will these newly-launched technologies have on the rest of our Earth-bound businesses?
I spoke about those topics with disruptive innovation specialists James Wang and Sam Korus of ARK Invest. ARK’s thematic ETFs invest in several of the most innovative companies in the world (and beyond). As you might expect, they’re also quite interested in outer space.
In our conversation, James, Sam, and I discuss why the commercial space economy should be on the radar of investors. I describe why imaging and sensing could become “the next GPS”, Sam explains the impact of miniaturization on satellite costs, and James compares satellite internet with 5G for the future of connectivity.
We also describe how the coronavirus could create several long-term opportunities for investors, especially in enterprise software and in healthcare.
