Special projects that build the space economy
Alongside our advisory work in U.S. space market entry, business development and government relations, Astromerge launches and operates special projects. Each one tackles a bottleneck of the growing space and defense economy, such as a shortage of skilled space manufacturing talent, fragile supply chains or regions that are not yet connected to the space industry.
Our projects are research-driven and production-focused. They bring together companies, universities, investors and government stakeholders, and they build on our experience in space ecosystem development, circular economy in space and supply chain resilience. More initiatives will be added here as they launch.
