Our Why
Space technology plays an integral role in our 21st century human society. Historically, it has not been accessible to the common man due to the prohibitive cost and technical capability required to participate in the space endeavour.
However, due to the NewSpace revolution - from the cubesat standard, reduced cost of small-satellites, reusable rockets and an all-time lowest cost of launch - space has become a lot more affordable.
But many people in the world, particularly from developing economies, still lack access to opportunities, training and an end-to-end capability to launch and operate their own space ventures.
Space not only provides an opportunity to understand and solve the world's biggest problems, but it is also an unprecedented opportunity for economic growth, with the industry projected to grow tenfold, from a $360 Billion (USD) industry to $3 Trillion (USD) in the next 30 years (Bank of America Merrill Lynch, 2017).
How we do it
In the short-term, we are building a large global community of new space entrepreneurs and startups, and sharing their incredible stories of grit, resilience and ingenuity with the rest of the world!
In the medium-long term, we will be providing advisory services and a marketplace connecting space businesses, startups, investors, academia, Governments and the private sector.
What we do
We are capturing this huge opportunity, by starting a new social enterprise called Space without borders, setting out on a bold mission to democratise access to space for everyone on the planet. Our focus is on using space for creating positive social impact, with a particular emphasis on monitoring, measuring and solving for UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
We do this by creating global connections in the space industry, which not only helps address UN Sustainable Development Goals and open new markets in developing nations, but also increases the speed of innovation through collaboration.
