Leverage the Space Economy for a Competitive Edge

Space-Edge is an educational pre-accelerator that helps entrepreneurs explore how space can strengthen their business. Whether you’re scaling a startup or refining your research, we’ll help you build a space-enabled strategy for competitive advantage.

Program Overview

Build Your Strategy for Space‑Powered Innovation

Space-Edge is an educational pre-accelerator that helps entrepreneurs understand and leverage the space economy for a competitive edge. It’s a wrap‑around complement for those already on their entrepreneurial path who are new to space—not a traditional business accelerator.

 Participants join a structured, 12-week experience that combines expert lessons, mentorship, peer collaboration, and access to space industry resources. You’ll leave with a clear-eyed strategy for how space-based assets, like microgravity, satellite data, or orbital platforms, can support your business.

Who It’s For

Space-Edge is designed for innovators who are new to space, but not new to building.

Participants typically include:

  • Startups exploring new markets or applications

  • Applied researchers with technologies that could benefit from space-based environments

  • Established companies looking to expand their R&D or innovation strategy

 What they share is curiosity about how space-based tools, platforms, or environments might offer an advantage, and how to explore that without wasting time or resources.

What You’ll Gain

  • A clear understanding of how space might support your work

  • Strategic guidance from experts in space, business, and technology

  • Exposure to relevant funding pathways (no equity required)

  • Support in developing a space-related strategy or use case

  • A network of peers and partners exploring similar questions

  • Access to university and industry collaborators

Why Space?

The space economy is rapidly becoming a major part of the global tech and innovation landscape. Analysts estimate its value could hit $1 trillion to $2 trillion by 2040, with McKinsey projecting $1.8 trillion by 2035. Space-enabled services—like data, materials testing, or new manufacturing pathways—are already creating impact across industries.

Space-Edge focuses on helping you understand where space fits, and how to make it part of your growth strategy.
