India and France have built up a strategic relationship over the decades, and technological cooperation between the two countries has since the very beginning built the tools of a nation's sovereignty, such as combat aircraft, submarines and space. The emergence of #Newspace in France and Europe, and the Indian government's decision to open up space to the private sector, has brought the two start-ups Skyroot Aerospace and PROMÉTHÉE Earth Intelligence closer together.

Yesterday, during the Festival dell'aerospazio, Andrea Porru, Space Research Engineer at Nurjana Technologies, contributed to a thought provoking roundtable on "𝑰𝒏𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑻𝒆𝒄𝒉𝒏𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒈𝒚 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒇𝒆𝒓: 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑶𝒑𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝑨𝒆𝒓𝒐𝒔𝒑𝒂𝒄𝒆". The discussion, which highlighted the critical role of #innovation in #aerospace, offered fresh perspectives on how space technologies can drive #progress in various industries. Aerospace is not only about exploring the stars—it’s also about developing #cuttingedgesolutions that have the potential to reshape industries, from telecommunications to environmental monitoring. Andrea was joined by esteemed panelists and together, they discussed how challenges in the space sector can transform into #opportunities for innovation in the territory. Hooray to Andrea and the entire panel for advancing the conversation on the future of aerospace technology! #AerospaceInnovation #TechnologyTransfer #SpaceTech #NurjanaTech #AerospaceFestival #SpaceResearch #ASTEC

A crucial part of enabling innovation is [not just] making the connections between government and private companies. Its also about serving as the connective tissue that binds them together in a purposeful way. BMNT's H4XLabs team looks at cohort companies technology readiness levels, their supply chain fragility, and their ability to scale product development capabilities, because many of the them are still research oriented companies just beginning the difficult and expensive pathway towards production. Using what we learn about the their circumstances our objective is to support the government to constantly iterate on its approaches to becoming a great customer and partner to these space companies while also helping the companies build better strategies for integrating government funding into their commercial development pathways.

“DESIGN THINKING for ROCKET SCIENTISTS" For over 60 years old, #NASA has been a well known pioneer and leader in mission critical space exploration. However, as the brave new world is doing things very differently with #technology and #culture, NASA had to decide how they plan to adapt to these changes fast. Here is write up on how NASA adapted #designthinking practises to remove critical barriers to generate #creative #innovation. As we embark into 2024 and unsure of 2025 and beyond, many organisations from different industries today are very comfortable at the rate of their business performance amidst the many barriers that needs to be addressed innovatively from vision and strategy, structure, process, profit models, products, services, brand, marketing and sales, technology and tools, customer experience and culture. Many case studies already teaches us "To Disrupt or Be Disrupted". There is indeed no better time to innovate than today, for yesterday is over and tomorrow may just be too late. At #Navlan, we have implemented around 57 projects which includes building 645 prototypes for around 150 companies and counting. The experiences we have learnt from these companies, projects and the problems to be addressed are indeed immense and invaluable. We will continue to serve different industries with bold, brave and brilliant #innovation which are co-designed or co-configured with the subject matter experts for the users and stakeholders via #humancentereddesign.

Indian space startup Agnikul Cosmos made history on May 30 by launching the nation's first 3D-printed rocket engine. This groundbreaking achievement revolutionizes rocket assembly time and cost, paving the way for a new era in space technology. The semi-cryogenic engine, which uses refined kerosene instead of liquid hydrogen, offers higher thrust and payload capacity. The Agnibaan Sorted mission, the startup's fifth attempt, successfully reached an altitude of eight kilometers from the Satish Dhawan Space Center. This milestone has been praised by IN-SPACe chairman Pawan Goenka, highlighting the crucial role of young innovators in India's burgeoning private space sector. The achievement is set to bolster global confidence in India's space capabilities, cementing the nation's position as a significant player in the space industry.
