New Space: A market of opportunities for investors

4 May 2026 • Expansion, Venture Deeptech • Back to news

The space industry is currently undergoing a major transformation. Long dominated by states, the sector is now opening up to private players and startups, giving rise to what is called New Space.

In an interview with Décideurs Magazine, Charles Beigbeder emphasizes that space has become a real economic market, driven by innovation and the dramatic drop in costs.

A revolution driven by innovation

Thanks to technological advances:

  • the cost of satellites has decreased significantly
  • access to space has become more democratic
  • New uses are emerging (connectivity, observation, data)

Space is thus becoming a key infrastructure of the global economy.

A strategic sector for investors

New Space today represents:

  • a rapidly growing market
  • a lever of technological sovereignty
  • a major deeptech innovation hub

In this context, funding for startups in the sector is essential to structuring a competitive ecosystem, particularly in Europe.

A long-term opportunity

The space sector is gradually establishing itself as a pillar of tomorrow’s economy, at the crossroads of technology, industry and data.
