Matthieu Chartier’s Post

When I first launched Starburst Aerospace in 2012, it was predominantly an aerospace company. There was a narrow definition of A&D and its umbrella of technologies… unlike today. As the landscape of technological innovation has evolved at an unprecedented pace, so too has our approach as a company. With an unwavering commitment to our mission of building a safer, greener, and more connected world, I’m proud to announce a major milestone: We are adapting our company’s name – from “Starburst Aerospace” to simply “Starburst”. By foregoing “Aerospace” from our name, we embrace a broader identity: one that better reflects the work we’re doing, the partners we’re working with, and the broader startup technologies we’re helping launch and scale. Starburst has been a trusted leader and partner for the A&D sector for over a decade, working with many governments, defense primes, large corporates, startups, universities, investors, and every player in between. Operating through 3 pillars – startup accelerators, strategy consulting, and venture investments – we are continuing to expand and strengthen our global footprint to support the disruptive entrepreneurs that are developing the critical technologies, products, and solutions that address our shared national and economic security interests.   We are working with priority technologies that range from AI, Quantum Tech, Biotech, Advanced Materials, and Space Tech, to Robotics and Autonomous Systems, Renewable Energy and Propulsion Tech, and Advanced Manufacturing, among many others.   This has included the development of innovation programs that build local innovation ecosystems, such as BLAST with the @French Ministry of Defense, and more recently, as one of NATO’s leading accelerator partners for @DIANA. Our team is honored to help deliver next generation capabilities, by collaborating with leading multinational industry majors including HENSOLDT and Airbus Defence and Space, and work on commercially-focused projects with key global players like Safran.    We thank our partners and ecosystem, for being part of our journey as we continue to help shape ecosystem-building in the industry.

At Starburst Aerospace, innovation is at the heart of our work. At ★ Les Assises du NewSpace - Saison 3 ★ last week, our team debuted an in-depth study of the innovations and technologies that have the potential to shape the future of space exploration and use. We're excited to share our "Innovation Radar", designed to provide a clear and strategic view of this dynamic ecosystem. Key objectives of the report: • Decipher the profusion of initiatives, projects and applications: Our mission is to offer you an overview of the many emerging innovations, identifying those with the potential to transform the space industry. • Assess impact and timeline to understand and prepare: Understanding the timing and impact of new technologies is essential for strategic preparation. We assess how and when these innovations could revolutionize the industry. Our radar focuses primarily on three application areas: 🌐 Infrastructure: Analyzing new technologies that improve space infrastructure, from launchers to space habitats. 🌍 Services for the Earth: Exploration of innovations that have a direct impact on our planet, such as observation satellites and global communication systems. 🛰️ In-Orbit Services: Identifying technological advances for in-orbit operations, including satellite maintenance and autonomous missions. We've also highlighted the main obstacles to large-scale deployment of some of these applications, to provide a complete picture of the challenges to be overcome.
