As sovereign capital increasingly becomes an instrument of geo financial statecraft, the global space economy is entering a new era shaped by strategic investment, geopolitical alignment, and evolving regulatory influence. This session brings together leaders from government, finance, and industry to explore how the fragmentation of global space capital markets—and the emergence of space infrastructure as a regulated asset class—will reshape competitive advantage, and how capital strategy will determine who leads the next decade of space innovation.

NASA’s ambitious plan to establish a permanent human presence on the Moon is moving from concept to construction. This session brings together leading experts to examine the roadmap for building a sustained lunar base, from the first components touching down in 2028 through a fully operational outpost by 2036.
Panellists will discuss the critical infrastructure layers that will make permanent lunar habitation possible, modular habitat design and deployment, pressurised and unpressurised crewed rovers for surface exploration, and the landing and launch systems needed to keep crews and cargo moving reliably between Earth and the Moon.
The discussion will also address two mission-critical enablers often overlooked in public conversations: power generation and distribution, and the communications and navigation architecture required to keep a lunar base connected and operational.
This session is an essential look at humanity’s renewed focus on the Earth’s closest celestial neighbour.

Nearly five years after the announcement of AUKUS, the partnership between Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States is evolving from vision to delivery. As strategic competition intensifies, AUKUS is reshaping how trusted allies collaborate to develop, acquire and sustain advanced capabilities at pace. Bringing together senior leaders from across the three nations, this panel will explore how AUKUS is driving a new model of defence cooperation, one founded on deeper industrial integration, shared innovation and a commitment to strengthening deterrence through collective capability. Discussions will examine progress across both Pillar I and Pillar II, the opportunities for industry, and the practical steps required to translate ambition into operational advantage. From undersea capability and autonomous systems to workforce mobility, technology sharing and supply chain resilience, the session will consider how governments and industry can work together to deliver the next generation alliance and ensure AUKUS remains a catalyst for security, prosperity and technological leadership across the Indo-Pacific and beyond. In doing so, it will also explore how these ambitions translate into increased commercial opportunities, driving investment, market access and deeper trade linkages across the three nations’ industrial ecosystems.
