Startup Career Fair: Aerospace and Defense

Arqus Aerospace is building the tools that give satellites superpowers. We design autonomous systems that let any spacecraft defend itself, inspect threats, remove debris, and take action in orbit - without humans in the loop. Our mission is to safeguard space infrastructure and unlock the next generation of orbital capabilities.

TerraLens transforms massive amounts of Earth observation data into actionable intelligence to support political and strategic decision-making. A spin-off from the German Aerospace Center (DLR), their software is already in operational use by national security authorities.

SpaceComputer is building resilient space infrastructure for consumers, enterprises, and governments. Space-based data centers are becoming increasingly popular. SpaceComputer addresses cybersecurity gaps in communication gateways and starts building standalone offerings for confidential computers. In short, SpaceComputer is an Orbital Confidential Compute Platform.

SarynSpace is building the credit risk infrastructure for the space economy. Satellite assets are increasingly financed by institutional lenders and insurers, but no standardised framework exists for estimating their default risk. We are developing the first audit-grade probability of default platform for orbital assets, combining orbital data, Bayesian inference, and institutional finance methodology. We are a pre-revenue deep tech company based in Germany, currently expanding our technical and quantitative team.
