ONDO Space is building an SOS communication ecosystem for the most remote, underserved populations around the world.
The ecosystem that consists of IoT cubesatellites, SOS messaging user device, animal tracker, ground stations, and web/app interfaces are all fully developed in house for seamless connectivity and affordability. We built our satellites 3.5x cheaper than global competitors and the rest of the hardware a fraction. We are piloting in Mongolia's harshest environment with UNDP in 2025.

Ecosmic is an Italian-Dutch startup with the goal to transform space into a sustainable and cost-effective industry.
Our mission is to provide modular, innovative solutions for space operators, enabling them to maximise the effectiveness of their missions. The first challenge that we are solving is space traffic management: with our product SAFE, we enhance the safety of space by offering a service that sends alerts whenever a satellite is at risk of colliding with another satellite or debris. We remove false alerts, and give recommendations on how to act when there is a real threat.

LYRASENSE, is simplifying geospatial intelligence by equipping users with AI agents to build and scale earth observation applications.
Today’s geospatial tools fall short for the frontline scientists and decision-makers solving some of the planet’s most pressing challenges - floods, oil spills, wildfires, security and beyond. With modern software architecture and agentic AI, LYRASENSE removes the barriers of technical complexity allowing users to build and scale earth observation applications effortlessly.
#CYBER SECURITY #DUAL USE - DOWNSTREAM
By providing infrastructure built for resilience, data integrity, and collaboration, Pan Galactic is empowering a new era of trusted and scalable space exploration and commerce.
#TELECOMMUNICATIONS - DOWNSTREAM
Aerlin is a startup developing a built-in OEM smart antenna that will enable satellite data connectivity on consumer cars. This will unlock the full potential of Software Defined Vehicles, and bring continuous connectivity.
Connectivity is currently commonly offered through traditional mobile networks, which do not offer consistent coverage in availability and bandwidth (none, 3G, 4G, 5G), disrupting the experience and access to those services and applications such as telematics, autonomous driving, infotainment, data connectivity, and new kind of subscription-based services and applications. The automotive industry stands to gain significantly from Aerlin’s technology as automakers have been heavily investing in digital related features and services.
