A Galaxy Of Opportunities

Next generation utilities will increasingly be managed from space.

The commercial space revolution is already well underway. Published company proposals suggest there will be well over 100,000 in orbit by the end of the decade, up from around 2000 in late 2018, as private companies seek to exploit the wealth of commercial opportunities in the new space economy. With such technology fast becoming the commercial norm, new space data sources are opening up novel possibilities to innovate products and services every week, creating opportunities few sectors can afford to ignore. Utilities, with their sprawling networks of large, remote and complex assets, have more to gain than most.
