This approach aims to create seamless integration between terrestrial industries—such as manufacturing and logistics—and space endeavors, resulting in novel data platforms and business ecosystems.

Collaborations and Innovations

In 2025, INDUSTRIAL-X was selected as a representative organization for a project under the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) Space Strategy Fund. In collaboration with major firms such as Mitsubishi Electric and NEC Corporation, we lead efforts to standardize and streamline the satellite development architecture in Japan. This initiative focuses on reducing lead times and costs across the entire space supply chain, strengthening Japan's competitive edge in the international satellite development landscape.

Beyond these collaborations, INDUSTRIAL-X also offers comprehensive support services for companies eager to enter the space sector, including project management and strategic planning support.
