Transmission of data in place of physical travel. That is, sending out dataships with atomically precise manufacturing capabilities to different places in the galaxy. These dataships could have design plans/material feedstock for anything from lab equipment and electronics to foodstuffs to even biological organisms.

Depending on your views around consciousness, we could even have crews of uploaded minds on these dataships that can then resleeve into a printed body upon arrival to the destination.
