What happens when infrastructure becomes borderless? 🚀 At Future Day 2026 at Munich Urban Colab, our Principal Amanda Birkenholz took the audience into the space economy and showed why it's far more than rockets. The numbers that stuck: 🔹 Cost per kilogram to orbit: ↓ 95% in one generation 🔹 Over 15,000 active satellites today, on track for ~43,000 by 2032 🔹 Space economy: $630 billion → $1.8 trillion by 2035 The real point: ~72% of value creation happens downstream. Not at launch, but in the data coming back from orbit. And downstream means construction, real estate, infrastructure, and energy. Exactly where that data makes the difference. And right in the middle of it: Europe. Isar Aerospace (Technical University of Munich spinout, >€600 million funding) is building Europe's answer to the launch gap. OroraTech is detecting wildfires worldwide in minutes instead of hours. And our portfolio companies Capmo, BauGPT, and Predium show how the same principles (intelligent redundancy, modular architecture, data-driven iteration) are transforming the construction industry. 💡 Space proves it: efficiency and resilience are not a contradiction. 🌌 A big thank you to UnternehmerTUM, BEFIVE by UnternehmerTUM, Manuel Götzendörfer, and Bettina von Stamm for having us on stage and for the conversation that followed! 🙌 #FutureDay2026 #SpaceEconomy #DeepTech #Munich #UVCPartners
