【Opening May 27 (Wed) - 300 Exhibitors】Space Business Accelerated by Manned Lunar Missions: The Frontier of Space Becoming a 'Familiar Social Infrastructure' from Disaster Prevention to Entertainment

RX Japan is hosting 'SPEXA - International Space Business Exhibition,' a gathering of the latest technologies and services in the space industry. This year, approximately 300 companies from 15 countries—including the US, Germany, Italy, Canada, and the UK—will be exhibiting.

Traditionally, space has been perceived as a 'distant world' consisting of large-scale, state-led projects involving only limited players. However, space development has reached a major turning point. With increased private sector participation and technological innovation, space is rapidly transforming into a 'business domain accessible to everyone.'

Particularly in recent years, the hurdles for space utilization have dropped significantly due to the miniaturization and cost-reduction of artificial satellites, as well as advancements in AI and digital technology. Data and technology derived from space are beginning to play a role as 'infrastructure' for solving terrestrial social issues such as disaster prevention, urban development, infrastructure management, and communications.

This exhibition brings together companies and technologies that embody these trends.
