Innovation in capital markets rarely comes from novelty alone. More often, it comes from reassessment — from asking sharper questions about assets that already exist. Not what was this built to do , but what else can this support ? A recent infrastructure project in Switzerland offers a useful illustration. At a decommissioned satellite teleport in the Alps, massive satellite dishes — once critical to global communications — are being repurposed as solar-tracking energy syste

Data Centers in Space: When AI, Energy, and Orbit Collide
The idea of data centers in space has officially escaped the realm of speculation. At the World Economic Forum in Davos, global leaders framed orbital computing not as science fiction, but as a structural response to the most pressing constraint facing artificial intelligence today: Earth itself. Power shortages, cooling limits, land scarcity, permitting delays, and carbon pressure are colliding just as AI demand is accelerating beyond anything existing infrastructure was des

When Power Becomes the Bottleneck: A Thesis Validated at Davos
At the recent World Economic Forum in Davos, a reality long understood by infrastructure operators was stated plainly on the global stage. As articulated by Elon Musk , the limiting factor for artificial intelligence is no longer compute availability. It is power. That observation marks an inflection point—not because it is new, but because it has now entered the mainstream narrative. For those building at scale, this constraint has been visible for years. The Shift from Com
