Space is no longer just rockets and astronauts. It’s an infrastructure layer powering AI, connectivity, and energy on Earth and beyond. We’ll explore the themes in space tech today, from AI-native satellite networks and lunar or in‑orbit infrastructure to space-enabled energy, compute, and the new “picks and shovels” that make it all work. Led by Dimple Malkani at Beyond Earth Ventures, this session will also touch on the business models emerging in the space economy, how AI (including physical AI) is being or could be leveraged, and where policy and governance might accelerate or constrain these ambitions. You’ll walk away with a clearer view of what’s here now, what’s coming next, and how founders, operators, investors, and space‑curious technologists can plug into this ecosystem. Join this interactive, candid roundtable, rather than a traditional panel, to share your perspective, pressure‑test your assumptions, build community, and be part of the only space-focused gathering at Ai4. Come with your questions and your opinions to make this an interactive story-salon. This event requires an RSVP; to attend, submit form through link above.
