We are grateful for the opportunity to learn and develop the matchmaking platform for satellite data services under the invaluable mentorship of our incubation partner Touch4IT and the guidance of an extraordinary group of advisors.
We are thrilled to be named winners of the third batch of the Spaceport_SK incubation programme of the Slovak Space Office.
The incubation programme has provided an exceptional opportunity for our team to learn and develop its flagship matchmaking platform for satellite data services under the invaluable mentorship of our incubation partner Touch4IT, specifically Lukáš Láni, with whom we have had frequent meetings and who offered us the chance to be featured at the 2024 International Astronautical Congress.
The Slovak Space Office hosted sessions between the incubees and a group of excellent international advisors from a variety of reputable organisations in the space industry, including the European Space Agency, the European Union Agency for the Space Programme, the European Investment Bank, Thales Alenia Space, and the Space Foundation. Additionally, the incubation programme offered online workshops dedicated to developing business-related skills: from pitching and team composition exercises to insightful and detailed introductions to market research, competition analysis, and legal matters.
We also owe a special thanks to the Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) for assembling our team during the 5th ASEF Young Leaders Summit and encouraging us to tackle the challenge of satellite data uptake, laying the groundwork for the solutions we are developing today.
Finally, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Slovak Space Office, particularly Michal Brichta and Kristián Ondáč, for their unwavering support and for connecting us with notable companies in the growing Slovak space industry.
We are excited for the journey ahead! 🚀
