We are pleased to announce that Deutsche Bank's Global Space Summit will be taking place at Deutsche Bank Center on Wednesday, November 19, 2025.
Deutsche Bank Center
One Columbus Circle
(enter via the 58th Street lobby)
New York, NY 10019
The Summit will offer perspectives on the latest developments in the Space sector from C-suite executives & provide opportunities for one-on-one meetings between participating companies & investors.
Panel Topics
Launch
Developing a reliable rocket is very difficult & a shortage could persist for several years, exacerbated by the need for sovereign redundancy & hypersonic missile testing, supporting robust pricing dynamics for those with leading capabilities. Demand from both governments & commercial operators is increasing, & DB estimates the global launch TAM to be worth ~$13bn this year, growing to >$30bn in 2030E.
Beyond Earth
Beyond Earth has come to represent a variety of activities in Space, including exploration (Moon & Mars), habitats (ISS replacement), debris removal, & situational awareness. With broad support from US policy, we expect private companies to increasingly take over development from government agencies, leading to shorter lead times & greater efficiency. Looking at the lunar exploration market alone, DB forecasts a Blue Sky TAM of >$10bn by 2030 & $15bn in 2035.
Buses & Payloads
The satellite bus & payload market is experiencing strong, consistent growth, driven by increasing demand for satellite-based services in telecommunications, Earth observation & defense & intelligence. The market is expected to expand annually over the next decade, reaching an estimated TAM of ~$109bn by 2033 (bus market size: ~$74bn; payload market size: ~$35bn). Standardization of buses & consolidation of smaller payload suppliers will likely be key themes this year.
Outlook for Space Investment
This panel brings together investors from various stages of growth in a company's lifecycle, from early-stage VC investors to growth PEs to public institutional investors. Panel speakers will provide their views on the uniqueness of investing in the Space sector, & how they considered strategic & financial merits in their investment decisions.
Geospatial Intelligence & AI
Earth observation capabilities are proliferating globally with multiple countries now leveraging commercial satellites for their sovereign needs & gaining access to high resolution + high revisit rate capabilities. This represents a multi-billion dollar TAM & longer term, advancements in end-to-end AI can supercharge adoption especially in commercial end-markets by making it easier / faster to derive actionable insights (e.g., ingesting data through LLM).
Space Defense & Tech
Space plays a critical role in defense & security, providing key backbone services everyday such as GPS / comms & the domain itself seems to be getting more militarized with adversaries. Increasingly, the commercial sector is developing capabilities, services & innovative technology that can support DoD / Space Force (e.g., SDA, Golden Dome). A competitive selling point is that private capital can allocate resources to invest ahead of need, & therefore deliver the capability to DoD coincident with that actual need so that the US can stay a step ahead of rival nations.
Direct-to-Device Connectivity
Due to the growing interest in providing connectivity by satellites directly to smartphones, the D2D market has become an exciting area in the Space industry involving the largest entities in both traditional telecom & next-gen satcom. As technology continues to advance, particularly with regard to data & voice, a dynamic market could emerge that will optimize affordability & service quality. As new offerings come online, we expect a lively debate on the best approaches amongst participants regarding spectrum, market size, business model, ARPU, & much more.
