→ THE SPACE YOU NEED TO GET YOUR BUSINESS OFF THE GROUND

CONTENT

Many technologies that have been developed for space are also improving our daily lives here on earth with diverse applications. The application of space technologies has, among many other things, led to the creation of an artificial heart, improved the monitoring of dams and optimized fire suppression systems.

Space technology is leading edge technology with very high standards and reliability. These characteristics give it a unique selling point to why the technology should be applied here on earth. Because it is a tough challenge to move from the initial idea phase to development phase of a successful start-up company, we and our key partners support the creation of your new businesses with financial, technical and business support.

Together we can do so much more.
