Accelerating possibilities in the space industry

Space has always been a source of inspiration for humanity. Today, it’s become an enabler of innovation — in banking, consumer, agriculture, climate science, technology, national security, energy, telecommunications, and many other industries and sectors — and its potential is only expanding.

Deloitte’s space practice brings its full range of professional services offerings, blended with space subject matter expertise, to help space start-ups scale, support UK government in delivering complex space programmes, grow space sector businesses and advise industries on what space means for them. To help accelerate the possibilities, we collaborate with business leaders and the innovation ecosystem to bring our global and cross-industry expertise to serve the space industry.

The opportunities ahead—and above

The space ecosystem is changing. Once a domain accessible only to government entities or billionaires, space now affects nearly every aspect of life on Earth. Earth observation for defence and climate monitoring, satellite-based positioning for navigation, satellite communications that are enabling ubiquitous connectivity, and in-space research and development for pharmaceuticals and manufacturing: We all depend on space. As government and commercial entities enter or expand their presence in the space frontier, new challenges will likely arise in their business operations. Success, from a business perspective, may not come easily — but we can play a valuable role in helping companies prepare for the challenges and competitors they will face in the new space market.

However, opportunity is not solely reserved for those in the space sector. At Deloitte, we bring together and connect our clients (from banking to pharmaceuticals) with best-in-class startups in the space ecosystem to help break down the opportunities of space technologies (spacetech) and explore their applications for business.

For more than 175 years, Deloitte has advised clients through industrial and technological revolutions. And Deloitte Space—Deloitte’s cross-business and cross-industry focused offering—is ready to help you lead this new revolution.

Space as a business

Commercial organisations in the business of space

Space-focused companies (from those launching and operating satellites to providing communications services) may face a complex set of challenges, including rapidly changing regulatory and competitive environments, technology requirements, and evolving ecosystems. Deloitte provides a variety of services to established and emerging organisations in the business of space, with a focus on aerospace, defence and tech, media, and telco. We can help them to identify market opportunities, define and execute transformation initiatives, deploy platforms and digital capabilities, optimise supply chains, embed next-gen manufacturing, and ultimately help them to thrive and grow, whether it be organically (for by example, helping these businesses grow their footprint with commercial customers) or via M&A.

With rapid growth comes increased complexity and risk, and to realise their ambitions, successful companies use trusted advisors to help them navigate these challenges. Deloitte also provides a comprehensive portfolio of cyber, tax, financial advisory, and assurance services to help organisations manage, improve, and report on the performance of their space-related endeavours.

Space as a growth opportunity

Commercial organisations whose business could benefit from the space industry

We apply our space expertise to help businesses gain a competitive edge using space enabled technology.

Space and the data and services it provides present opportunities to governments and private-sector companies around the world in nearly every industry—e.g., financial services, consumer, energy and resources, telecommunications, life sciences, and defence. Deloitte’s cross-industry team of advisers and tech-experts can help organisations identify, assess, and approach space innovation, space-related data, and commercialisation opportunities with confidence.

We have been bringing together key players from across the space ecosystem to help break down the opportunities of spacetech. Through our SpaceLabs we help clients understand and explore space technologies and consider potential applications for their organisation, both now and in the future. We are also able to connect our clients to the latest spacetech companies through GRAVITY challenge, our spacetech accelerator. This innovation program solves real world challenges using space-enabled technologies and data.

So far, we’ve seen solutions to help organisations use satellite data to verify the value of carbon credits, enable near instant insurance pay-outs, monitor infrastructure and physical assets at scale, and even track marine mammals from space, and that’s just the start.
