About this episode

This episode discusses the intersection of data centers and the space economy, featuring insights from Andrew Batson of JLL.

The space economy is booming, artificial intelligence is booming, data centers are booming, and technology and real estate investors are making huge commitments to those asset classes. And now those categories are being brought together in the aspirational form of data centers in space. A new report from JLL makes sense of the subject in a new report. Elaborating on the firm’s research during this episode is Andrew Batson, head of data center research and strategy for the Americas at JLL. (07/2026)
