contracts, and scalable partnerships.

collaboration frameworks work across borders, and where to engage during Space-Comm to
accelerate deals already in motion.

Theme: Startups Converting Cross-Border Interest into Revenue
This session features early-stage space companies, Seed through Series B, representing US and UK or EU markets across dual-use, data and software, and infrastructure or service-based models. All participating companies have active pilots, contracts, or late-stage negotiations underway.
Company Spotlights: Each participating company delivers a concise briefing outlining its core offering, the customer or partner currently funding or piloting the work, and a key challenge that nearly stalled progress.
Moderated Discussion:
What enabled progress to move ahead
· Where founders commonly misjudge government or international buyers
· What participants would do differently if starting today
This panel is intentionally candid and operational, prioritizing execution insight over promotional storytelling.
