Space Compute: Market Trends and Innovations
Space compute is emerging as a response to the rapid growth of satellite-generated data and the limitations of transmitting all raw information to Earth for processing. By moving filtering, compression, analysis, and prioritisation onboard, satellites can reduce downlink requirements, deliver time-sensitive insights faster, and continue operating when communication with Earth is delayed or unavailable. This shift is transforming satellites from data-collection platforms into decision-support systems capable of identifying events, selecting relevant information, and supporting autonomous action. The space-compute ecosystem is...

The Circular Economy: Strategic Intelligence
The circular economy is an industrial system designed to eliminate waste and pollution, keep products and materials in use, and regenerate natural systems. It aims to replace the traditional linear economy, which typically follows a take-make-use-dispose path. Circular initiatives and recycling have grown significantly since the Ellen MacArthur Foundation began campaigning in 2010. However, the transition to circularity is not moving quickly enough to keep up with the extraction and disposal of materials.
