The 4th annual Space Economy Summit, hosted by Economist Enterprise, is scheduled for October 28–29, 2026. The event will take place at the University of Central Florida in Orlando, a region recognized as a key commercial space corridor.
The summit gathers representatives from government agencies, including NOAA, the US Space Force, and the FCC, alongside executives from sectors such as telecommunications, agriculture, healthcare, and finance. Notable speakers include leaders from Verizon, Syngenta, and Tesco.
The agenda focuses on the commercial application of space-enabled technologies, covering topics like direct-to-device connectivity, orbital computing, and microgravity manufacturing. Discussions will address regulatory challenges, supply chain resilience, and business models.
A dedicated forum, the Space Economy Leaders Club, will host 50 senior decision-makers for private discussions. This group includes chief executives, investors, and policymakers tasked with shaping the future of the global space economy.
