1️⃣0️⃣ Sustainability in space – Sustainable practices – such as reducing space debris and avoiding hazardous chemicals – are essential to preserve long-term benefits.
#expertize
OUR EXPERTIZE
Most companies don’t know how to benefit from space.
Estimated share of non‑space companies with a space strategy varies from 5-12% globally. This range reflects companies that have any formalized approach to using space‑based capabilities (satellite data, connectivity, in‑orbit services, etc.) as part of their business strategy.
We identify where space can create value and help turn opportunities into measurable business results.
We bridge the gap between strategy and execution.
