«The space economy started with the big players - he explained - but it is essential to understand how there can be as widespread repercussions as possible on the economy. Today there are large public entities: what needs to be developed is a supply chain and a private sector ». According to Roberto Fear the effects of space economy however, they will be seen in the coming decades. Italy plays an important role in this, with districts of excellence between Lazio is Campania for instance.

Where innovations could first be appreciated is in the field of urban air mobility, i.e. vertiport and mobility of the future with citizens and commuters ready to board to take off to work. “Drones and flying taxis are obviously not based on supersonic speed, but I believe they have many points of contact with aerospace. We are not so far from the arrival of this scenario: we are discussing the regulations and this means that we are already thinking about the market ». But what are the opportunities and jobs that will arise once this new frontier is reached? "They range from spatial architecture to mining asteroids, or using them to collect rare resources on Earth."
