We believe space is more than a frontier to be conquered. It’s a unique environment ripe with opportunities…for innovation, creation, collaboration, and profound discovery.
What we do for our clients
Innovian works directly with organizations to develop and execute strategies to unlock economically sustainable and profitable uses of space. We work with clients who are already established in the space economy and those who are new to space. Whatever questions you have about how space can create opportunities for your organization, we can help.
Industries We Serve
At Innovian Space we believe the value of space is unlimited. We are open to exploring all opportunities, those that we already recognize and those that are waiting to be revealed.
We believe the greatest opportunities today focus on the following areas:
Launch Your Space Strategy
Space offers a proven, yet unrealized, promise that the unique conditions of microgravity can unlock breakthroughs that are impossible to create on Earth. The imminent emergence of more diverse commercial space transportation systems, orbital destinations, and lunar surface facilities are poised to significantly reduce historical limitations to these novel applications.
Innovian Space partners with your organization to take advantage of these imminent advancements to launch your space strategy.
Plan
Step one is analyzing and identifying economically sustainable and profitable uses of space relevant to your organization. Then, developing an achievable plan to leverage available space environments, platforms, capital, and partners to capture significant value, revenue, and growth.
Enable
We next identify and specify the capabilities required to prove and/or scale your validated application for space. We ensure those capabilities can be capitalized, built, and operated, and confirm they are compatible with targeted space vehicles and platforms. We then coordinate platform-readiness, mission integration, and launch-support frameworks for existing and emerging platforms and vehicles. We also support engagement with anchor users, partners, and capital markets.
Execute
Finally, we serve as your trusted partner to execute a growth and scaling strategy that leverages best space-based supply chain assets and networks in order to establish your organization as a leader in the development of a sustainable orbital manufacturing commercial space economy.
