The June 2026 issue of Business by LA Times Studios explores the next wave of innovation and risk shaping California’s economy, from the emergence of space-based data centers designed to overcome terrestrial limits in power, land and cooling to the growing urgency of circular economy solutions as the AI hardware boom accelerates e-waste challenges. This edition also examines the rising cost of digital risk, including how AI-driven cyber threats are transforming the cyber insurance market, and analyzes the growing impact of “dupe culture” through a landmark federal court ruling involving UGG boots and its implications for intellectual property in the social media era. It further highlights Southern California’s aerospace and defense sector with our first-ever ranking of the Top Aerospace and Defense Companies, alongside our Aerospace and Defense Industry Visionaries feature, recognizing the companies and leaders driving innovation across the industry.
