There may be ample debate about AI in terms of where this transformative technology is heading, but there’s certainly consensus on one aspect: This is the fastest-moving innovation in history. Leaders, innovators, and regulators have had little opportunity to come together and discuss even just a few of the most pressing issues.

When a BCIU-led delegation of 14 American space companies visited India in February 2026, it marked a turning point in how the U.S. government and American private-sector entities approach the business of space. The trade mission, which culminated in the U.S.-India Space Business Forum in Bengaluru, demonstrated that the next frontier of the global space economy would be built not through competition, but through international collaboration.

The global space industry is undergoing a monumental shift—and a nascent US-India partnership could propel the sector to new heights of innovation, discovery and prosperity.
