The Factory Leaves Earth

Manufacturing has always chased cheaper inputs. Textiles followed labor, aluminium followed electricity, and now advanced materials are following vacuum and microgravity into orbit. This conversation brings together the investors defining the space-industrial economy, the founders building its first factories, and the industry leaders whose products depend on materials that are fundamentally constrained by what s possible on Earth. We ll discuss what the orbital manufacturing value chain looks like today, where the investment thesis is headed, and how industries from energy to AI will be reshaped when their most critical materials are made off-planet.
