The Space Economy (SE) is entering a critical phase of growth and influence, with more than 80 countries now operating space agencies and owning their satellites. Space technologies are increasingly impacting our everyday lives. From satellite communications and Earth observation for climate monitoring and action to positioning, navigation, and timing services, the SE is reshaping industries and opening new frontiers for research and innovation. This PDW marks a pivotal moment, introducing management scholars to the vast opportunities and challenges in SE. Designed to foster knowledge exchange and bridge theoretical insights with practical applications, the PDW focuses on four key domains: (1) theoretical developments in Space Economy research, (2) innovative methodologies and datasets, (3)-emerging phenomena, and (4) policy and practical challenges in SE. The session begins with practitioner panel featuring leaders from space agencies like the NASA, ESA , and pioneering companies such as SpaceX, AWS, and OneWeb. The core of the PDW involves interactive roundtable discussions, where facilitators, high-profile academics, will help participants co-create research designs on pre-defined topics (Table-1). Participants would pre-register by submitting a brief summary of their research interests, though final attendance will depend on available space. The PDW will include a plenary session summarizing insights and outlining future research directions. Finally, an informal networking session and feedback opportunity for participants who submitted works-in-progress will wrap up the event. The proposed PDW aspires to spark new research ideas, foster collaborations, and position management scholars at the forefront of SE’s rapidly expanding and increasingly impactful domain.

The event is open to all, but we recommend registering online by June 25, 2025, to secure a spot at a roundtable of your choice and receive feedback on your submission. Register at: https://forms.gle/dyVz4tH61Sj5cnXw8
