In this episode, we explore the rapidly evolving landscape of the space economy with Pierre Lionnet, Director of Research at ASD Eurospace. As space ventures scale at unprecedented rates, the industry faces a paradox—while technological advancements drive down costs, sustainable profitability remains elusive.
Pierre unpacks the complexities of affordability, investment cycles, and the economic forces shaping the next frontier of commercial space. How do governments and private players balance innovation with financial viability? What are the risks and opportunities in hyperscale space developments? And how does Europe position itself in this high-stakes race?
Join us for an insightful discussion on the future of the space economy, the shifting dynamics of global competition, and the economic models that could define the next era of space exploration.
