Space Competitiveness Index Executive Summary
Futron's 2008 Space Competitiveness Index (SCI) is a landmark, first-of-its-kind study. It is an in-depth comparative analysis of the 10 nations currently leading in space and space-related activity. These 10 nations, determined through a detailed investigation of space competitiveness, are Brazil, Canada, China, Europe, India, Israel, Japan, Russia, South Korea, and the United States.
Futron's 2008 Space Competitiveness Index evaluates these nations across 40 individual metrics that represent the underlying economic determinants of space competitiveness. These metrics assess national space competitiveness in three major dimensions: government, human capital, and industry.
In addition to its country-by-country analysis, Futron's 2008 Space Competitiveness Index assesses the competitive dynamics of three global industry segments of particular interest to the space community: military space, positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT), and Earth observation (EO). Futron's 2008 Space Competitiveness Index ranks the relative competitiveness of the 10 leading space nations in each of these three segments, and also surveys the broader strategic challenges and opportunities that each global industry segment presents.
