In the space sector, partnerships and collaboration between the US and Japan remain critically important for economic growth and national security. Both nations have enjoyed a long and prosperous relationship in many different economic sectors, beyond just space. As these national economies become more global, effective and productive partnerships become even more important. Navigating the challenges of cultural differences, language barriers, and national policy all must be considered when executing a joint partnership.
In 2022, the global space economy was estimated at over 460 billion dollars. Much of this growth is taking place in the commercial space sector as governments, including the US and Japan, turn to commercial service providers to fill both civil and security needs. In the US and Japan, this is leading companies to seek partnerships to work together to address the bilateral opportunity.
