The Summit on Earth Observation Business focuses on remote sensing technologies, Earth observation constellations, ground segment innovation, data platforms, and the commercial and strategic dynamics shaping Earth observation markets. Discussions are expected to address topics such as AI-enabled analytics, cloud delivery models, trusted data pipelines, and the needs of markets including climate, maritime, and agriculture. Azelton will moderate a discussion on trends in Earth observation, their relationship to space sustainability policy, and future capabilities. Her participation will support SWF's work on commercial space, remote sensing, and policy approaches that help enable the secure and sustainable use of outer space.
Centre for Space Futures, Novaspace and SpaceTech Gulf sign agreement to develop Global Space Capability Mapping dashboard. Riyadh, Saudi Arabia - June, 2026 The Centre for Space Futures (CSF), together with leading international partners including Novaspace, and SpaceTech Gulf, have signed a Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC) to jointly develop a Global Space Capability Mapping and Index Dashboard. The agreement marks the start of a collaborative effort to build a data-driven platform that maps global space capabilities and makes them more accessible and actionable for decision-makers worldwide. The initiative is designed to address a critical gap in the space ecosystem: limited visibility into who holds which capabilities, and how those capabilities can be applied to solve real-world challenges. At its core, the dashboard will provide a structured view of global space capabilities across key domains. By leveraging open-source data, advanced methodologies, and partner expertise, the platform aims to become a trusted reference point for policymakers, industry leaders, and researchers. Beyond mapping, the initiative is intended to enable practical application. Countries or organizations facing challenges, such as agricultural disease monitoring, climate risks, or infrastructure resilience, will be able to identify where relevant space-enabled capabilities exist, understand how similar problems have been addressed, and connect with the right partners to implement solutions. "This initiative is about turning capability into impact," said Eng. Mishaal Ashemimry, Managing Director of CSF. "We are building a tool that helps decision-makers move from identifying a challenge to finding a proven solution and the right partner to deliver it." "Understanding and benchmarking national space capabilities is becoming increasingly important for governments, investors, and industry stakeholders navigating a rapidly evolving space economy," said Carla Filotico, Partner & Managing Director at Novaspace. "This collaboration brings together complementary expertise to develop a trusted framework that will help stakeholders better understand space ecosystems and support informed decision-making." As space technologies become increasingly relevant to addressing global challenges, many potential users still lack clear pathways to access and apply them. This collaboration aims to bridge that gap by making capabilities more visible, comparable, and usable. The initiative will also produce periodic insights and reports, contributing to a deeper understanding of global space capabilities, emerging applications, and opportunities for international collaboration. The MoC establishes a framework for joint work over the coming years, reinforcing international cooperation and supporting the development of a more connected and solution-oriented global space ecosystem. About The Centre for Space Futures (CSF) The Centre for Space Futures (CSF) is a global, impartial platform established through a partnership between the Saudi Space Agency and the World Economic Forum. As the first space-focused hub within the World Economic Forum's Centres for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Network, CSF supports the growth of the global space economy through policy insight, technology enablement, and cross-sector collaboration.

Novaspace adds market intelligence lens to ASCEND with new programming on key trends. Novaspace will make its ASCEND debut this year in Washington, D.C., with a dedicated half day aimed at unpacking three of the space sector's fastest-moving trends: direct-to-device (D2D) connectivity, cloud-enabled space infrastructure, and the next AI-fueled era of remote sensing. The new programming, scheduled for the morning of 21 May, marks the first time the consultancy - formed from the merger of Euroconsult and SpaceTEC Partners - has served as a programming partner for ASCEND. "We provide robust, data-driven market intelligence throughout the year, along with forward-looking forecasts that help our clients understand where the space industry is headed," said Zack Hester, Head of U.S. Office, Novaspace. Why ASCEND, Why Now Hester said ASCEND's growth trajectory and its location in Washington, D.C., factored into Novaspace's decision to take on a programming role. "ASCEND promises to deliver fresh ideas, new partnerships, and growing momentum," Hester said. "What I'm really excited about is this new energy and new perspective for the space industry." Novaspace's involvement reflects its broader positioning as a space-focused consultancy with a global footprint, with 150+ professionals across 10 global offices and more than four decades of combined space-sector expertise. ASCEND is tapping that expertise to frame discussions that go beyond technical demonstrations. "They're relying on us to provide our market insight and our space expertise into their programming," Hester said. All three Novaspace sessions will be held Thursday morning, 21 May, with content that "runs the gamut between satcom and EO (Earth observation)," giving ASCEND attendees a concentrated window into how D2D, cloud, and AI are reshaping the commercial space landscape. The first session, "How D2D Is Transforming Global Connectivity," will explore how D2D satellite links are reshaping user expectations and service models worldwide. Satellite direct-to-phone enables standard mobile devices, like smartphones, to connect directly with satellite constellations in GEO or NGSO orbits. Novaspace projects that the market will grow tenfold over the next decade, reaching over $100 billion in cumulative revenues across all D2D and IoT segments by 2034. "D2D is emerging as the next major layer of mobile connectivity, extending service beyond the reach of terrestrial networks. With mobile networks covering around 96% of the global population but only about 20% of the world's landmass, this session will unpack why satellite-to-device connectivity is becoming strategically important, how the ecosystem is evolving, and where the market is headed next," said Sumaiya Najarali, Novaspace's manager, who leads the Prospects for Direct to Handheld and IoT Markets Intelligence report. The second session, "From Ground to Orbit: How the Cloud Is Transforming Space Infrastructure," will feature Salem El Nimri, chief of Space Technology at AWS Aerospace and Satellite, and other panelists examining how cloud architectures are changing mission design, operations and data handling. The final Novaspace session, "The Next AI-Fueled Era of Remote Sensing," will explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping Earth observation value chains, from data collection to analytics. That discussion will include Michael Bergen, vice president and head of air and space at Vantor (formerly Maxar), a rebranded EO player emerging from Maxar Intelligence. With its first ASCEND appearance, Novaspace is offering timely programming that will give attendees a concentrated look at how D2D, cloud and AI are reshaping the market - and how the company sees that evolution unfolding.
