Meet us at THE BR-DGE, the center of gravity for space innovation, in the heart of El Segundo, California, the aerospace capital of the world. THE BR-DGE catalyzes an innovation ecosystem that supports entrepreneurs building space capabilities for the new space economy, a commercial space sector projected to grow to $1.8 trillion dollars by 2035 from $630 billion dollars in 2023 - almost twice the rate of global GDP growth. On April 25, 2024, I2A Expo Day celebrated the inaugural I2A (Innovate to Accelerate) cohort bringing together government stakeholders, venture capitalists, and industry professionals to THE BR-DGE. The inaugural I2A cohort saw 18 companies leverage $30.4 million dollars in non-dilutive financing to develop innovative technologies addressing the most pressing problems in national space today. Through our strategic partnerships with SpaceWERX, the State of California, and as the Aerospace lead for Los Angeles County, see how DTI supports the future of the space economy.

Engineering disciplines and skills often transcend industry verticals. The founders of Motus cut their teeth doing hardware and firmware engineering for high end pro audio mixing boards. Now we get utilize those skills on state-of-the-art diagnostics for General Fusion’s new Magnetized Target Fusion (MTF) machine, called Lawson Machine 26 (LM26) What do pro audio and fusion have in common? Hundreds of channels of high headroom, low noise analog signals, the need for an aligned and synchronized sample clock across multiple ADCs for all those channels, a harsh electromagnetic environment, and a need for high reliability real time digital signal transfer. We are thrilled to be apart of Innovate BC's ignition program, and working with General Fusion on their path to make British Columbia a leader in commercializing zero carbon energy through fusion.

Three new projects have been funded through B.C.’s #IntegratedMarketplace program, which is delivered by Innovate BC. Each of the three projects are part of the Integrated Marketplace’s testbed at Vancouver International Airport (#YVR), which includes YVR and organizations in its vicinity such as General Fusion. Two projects will seek to bolster operational capabilities at YVR through drone-based runway monitoring (Niricson) and an enhanced paging communication system in the terminal (Hybrid Audio Visual), and the other will support the development of a state-of-the-art diagnostics component (Motus Design Group) for General Fusion’s new Magnetized Target Fusion machine, called Lawson Machine 26. ➡️ Read more: https://loom.ly/EfoLzc4 #InnovateBC, Peter Cowan, Sheila Schindel, Vancouver Airport Authority, Brenda Bailey , Nathan Nankivell; Government of British Columbia, Harjit S.

In "Hangry" Mike Evans, founder of Grubhub, mentions the phenomenon of a "restaurant row" within each city. Rather than compete for resources this co-location of the industry spurs growth in a sector driving more, and more customers to this area. Mike refers to this as "embiggening". THE BR-DGE is embiggening the #defense and #space ecosystem right here in El Segundo. We are a nearly 17,000-square-foot facility in the home of aerospace innovation and offer programs to support the creation, development, and investment in leading #dualuse capability in support of our national interests. We would love for YOU, to stop by and see everything DTI and THE BR-DGE has to offer.

🚨 The Call for the BDVA i-Space label 2024 is officially open❗ 🛑 Deadline: 19 July 2024 ✅ Apply for the i-Space label NOW👉https://lnkd.in/ejPQG3VJ 🎯 The BDVA i-Space label is used in Europe to assess the quality of data experimentation and innovation hubs. To ensure the quality of the European Data Innovation Spaces and connect existing initiatives under one umbrella, BDVA set up the BDVA i-Space label. 🏆 On a yearly basis, candidates from all over Europe are invited to apply for this label. A set of criteria are tested by way of a survey to collect the relevant information. A committee appointed by the BDVA Board of Directors (BoD) carefully examines individual candidates and recommends the appropriate quality ranking (starter, bronze, silver, gold or diamond) to the BoD, which ultimately grants the label.

The Action Agenda Cooperation in the space sector between #Bremen and Provincie Zuid-Holland started in 2019. Since then, the two regions developed a close relationship in multiple fields. ✍️We are happy to announce that we reached another milestone in our cooperation. This week the proposal ‘Lunar echo; digital twin gateway for extreme environments’ for the call HORIZON-INFRA-2024-TECH-01-04 was officially submitted. We keep our fingers crossed! “Lunar Echo aims to combine highly accurate modelling and digital twin infrastructure with state-of-the-art immersive technologies into a federated system that allows stakeholders to test relevant and realistic scenarios in a safe, accessible, and still highly accurate environment.” This proposal has been written by a big consortium (companies, knowledge institutes and European Research Infrastructure) which consists of in total 18 partners from The Netherlands, Germany, Romania, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Luxembourg and France. In the framework of the ‘Action agenda cooperation in the space sector between Bremen and Zuid-Holland 2023-2026’ we had a fruitful workshop at Space Tech Expo Europe in November 2023 on the theme of Digitization. The ambition of targeting this Horizon call was set then. That was the starting point for building this proposal. With hard work from the growing consortium and stimulated by extra help in the field of project development and the writing process financed by the Province of Zuid-Holland and AVIASPACE Bremen e.V. we were able to accelerate the process. Special thanks to the founding fathers and the organizing team Michiel Vullings, Hauke Ernst, Laura Gibson - ten Bloemendal, Martijn Seijger, Andrei Bocin-Dumitriu and Julian Hofhans.

Last week I've participated in this Optica Online Industry Meeting on #NewSpace technologies through Zoom. Here it is the recording. I highlight all presentations giving us a good picture of current roles #photonics and #optical_engineeirng are playing in this high-growth #deeptech emerging field. Of note the European businesses and companies involved, which are numerous and competitive. In #NewSpace I do not see an European disadvantage, specially on the actual technolgical content and development. On the business and investment side of things, things are different, not to the European advantage. Optica Online Industry Meeting: NewSpace
