Low Earth Orbit (LEO) is becoming a crucial environment for global navigation, telecommunications, defense, and worldwide connectivity. The rise in investment in the sector is attributed to the increasing importance of low earth orbit, which provides quicker responses, reduced launch costs, and faster communication speeds. More than $45 billion worth of investment in this sector was recorded in 2025, up sharply from just under $25 billion in 2024, according to Space IQ. The most visible example of this shift is SpaceX's expanding satellite network, which already operates the Starlink constellation with over 9,500 satellites flying. Other notable developments include the development of a solar-powered orbital data-center system, which could involve up to one million satellites. More importantly, Nvidia has unveiled a new platform aimed at bringing AI computing into orbit, designed to support orbital data centers, geospatial intelligence, and autonomous space operations. Over $400 billion has been invested in the space economy since 2009, with the U.S. contributing over half of this investment, followed by China. However, Carlos Moreira, CEO of Swiss cybersecurity firm Wisekey, has cautioned that this expansion must be managed with the same level of seriousness as digital sovereignty on Earth.
