Our Objectives

What we aim to build over 5 years

These are the targets we are working toward with and our partners. The figures below represent possible scenarios based on our program model.

5 – 7

Incubation Centers

A national network of space-connected BIICs spread across key innovation hubs.

54 – 110

Startups Supported

Space-connected startups selected and incubated through the program over the 5-year period.

Cities Targeted

Centers embedded in key cities, each connected to local universities, investors, and innovation ecosystems.

Year Program

A structured long-term roadmap from setup to full operations designed for lasting impact.

These are projected objectives, rather than achieved results. The exact scope will be determined through a feasibility study carried out in collaboration with local partners.
