Samson Williams and George Pullen will explore the significance of the Space Economy in the 5th Industrial Revolution, currently valued at $600 billion. They will draw parallels to how oil fueled the advancements of the 4th Industrial Revolution and discuss how "rare earth" minerals mined from asteroids and meteors could fuel the next wave of economic growth. The session will emphasize the role of digital twins, AI, and autonomy in orchestrating complex expeditions aimed at extracting potentially quadrillion-dollar resources in the challenging microgravity environment of space.
