Steering Offshore Energy Innovation into the Future emphasizes the pivotal role oil and gas, along with other emerging offshore energy sources, will play in shaping a sustainable and energy-secure future. As the global demand for cleaner, more efficient energy solutions grows, offshore energy solutions are at the forefront of this evolution. Offshore oil and gas exploration continues to provide a critical foundation, fueling economies and powering industries worldwide.

Simultaneously, innovations in offshore wind, tidal, and wave energy are gaining momentum, transforming how we harness renewable resources from the ocean. By integrating cutting-edge technology and sustainable practices, the offshore energy sector is not only advancing traditional energy sources but also accelerating the development of alternative solutions. Together, these efforts are steering the future of offshore energy—leading the charge towards a balanced, sustainable energy mix that will power generations to come.

Are you ready to shape the future of the space industrial base? 🚀

In just three months, NewSpace Nexus will host the 2026 SSIB Conference in Albuquerque and we’ve already lined up a few of the brightest minds in the industry as speakers with more to come! This isn't just another event—it’s a collaborative workshop where industry leaders turn challenges into growth. Our CEO Casey Anglada DeRaad says it best: "Ensuring U.S. leadership in space requires more than an ecosystem of suppliers, we need co-innovators... to shape interoperable architectures."

We are proud to serve as the "trusted bridge" between our partners at the United States Space Force, Air Force Research Laboratory, the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), and the innovation community. Let’s reconnect this May and build the next era of space leadership together.

📍 Join us May 26–29 in Albuquerque!
