Accelerating the Future

Join us at the forefront of Deeptech, Energy and Space Innovation. Global energy is approximately a $6T market annually, and the high-growth space economy is projected at $2 trillion by the mid-2030s. We expect these markets to provide advantages and solutions across areas as diverse as semiconductors, biotech/pharma, energy, communications, and more. Advanced technologies across Deeptech, Energy and Space are interlinked and come together to provide the path to infrastructure scale and global solutions in these sectors: on and off planet.

On January 17th, we witnessed the state-of-the-art and breakthroughs that most consider decades from reality (being built towards today!).  The US Energy, Space and Disruptive Deeptech Interagency Groups provided a rapid-fire showcase of innovations redefining what's possible—not in fifty years, but today.

This virtual conference included diverse technologies, companies, and experts funded and supported across the interagency (awards publicly visible), including NASA, DOE, NSF, DOD (Space Force, SpaceWERX, Air Force/AFWERX, DARPA), ISS, DHHS, NIH, SBA, Commerce, Treasury, and others…

Co-hosted with interagency and private sector colleagues across all areas in deep tech, energy, and space technologies.

We covered innovations across diverse areas:

• Enhanced energy generation, energy resilience & efficiency

• Advanced propulsion and launch systems

• In-space platforms and infrastructure

• Diverse in-space manufacturing technologies across biotechnology, semiconductors, advanced materials, and more

• Resource identification and extraction technologies, earth observational data

• Quantum applications for energy and space operations

• Human-AI and advanced capabilities integration for both energy and space exploration

• Leading edge fusion, nuclear, extended electrodynamics, hydrogen, quantum energy, anomalous phenomena in energy and communications, off-planet mining

• Revolutionary materials science and engineering

• Cutting-edge space-based energy solutions
