As global markets push toward sustainability, automation, and resilience, this dual vertical plays a central role in catalyzing systemic transformation across industries.
Future Trends
- AI Across All Segments: From vehicle autonomy to predictive maintenance, AI is being embedded in every part of the mobility and space stack. NASA Ames leads AI-driven modeling and autonomous mission systems.
- Policy Dynamics – IRA & BBB: The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) has unlocked billions for clean transport and infrastructure, but its future is uncertain amid political challenges such as the Build Back Better (BBB) rollback threats. This creates policy volatility for mobility players relying on tax credits and federal procurement.
- Dual-Use and Defense Applications: Mobility and space tech are increasingly seen as strategic assets. The Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) in Mountain View is accelerating dual-use applications of AI, robotics, and satellite systems.
- Decentralized, Resilient Infrastructure: Edge computing, modular satellite networks, autonomous logistics, and local manufacturing are reshaping how mobility and space solutions scale globally.
- German-American Opportunities: German SMEs in aerospace, automotive, and photonics are expanding into the U.S. through NASA partnerships, Silicon Valley accelerators, and defense contracts.
