Your Window Into the Innovation Economy

Today, Americans heavily depend on maritime transport, responsible for 80% of global trade. We rarely consider maritime logistics until disruptions — like the 2021 Suez Canal blockage or Covid-era delays — remind us of its critical role. America’s naval dominance has historically safeguarded global trade, underpinning our economy and security. Yet, despite its significance, maritime innovation has lagged behind sectors like aerospace or quantum computing in attracting venture capital.

The new space race, driven by both government and private sector investments, is reshaping industries from telecommunications to national defense, with space projected to exceed $1 trillion by 2040. Key areas of focus include satellite constellations, GPS superiority, and lunar exploration, which have strategic and commercial implications, particularly in defense and technological innovation. As private companies like SpaceX, HawkEye 360, and Varda Space push the boundaries of space technology, investors see vast potential for growth in a rapidly expanding space economy.

The world is moving beyond touch. The human-computer interface, once dominated by keyboards, mice, and touchscreens, is now entering a new era. Voice recognition, eye-tracking, and gesture-controlled devices are redefining how we interact with technology. This shift, often referred to as the “Beyond Touch” movement, signals a transformation in how we live, work, and engage with the digital world. By understanding these advancements, you can appreciate the profound impact they will have on industries and everyday life.
