🚀 Reflecting on our journey, it's remarkable to see how many world-changing ideas and companies have their roots in humble beginnings, much like ours. From the garages of Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, where Apple was born, to the modest beginnings of Google in a Menlo Park garage, history is replete with stories of garage startups that have grown into colossal pillars of innovation and industry. Amazon, Microsoft, and Harley-Davidson are just a few more examples of companies that started with nothing but a dream and a garage space, proving that great ideas don't need elaborate setups to flourish. They just need relentless determination, a vision for the future, and the grit to make it happen. Here's to more garage-born innovations shaping our world! 🌟 #StartupCulture #Innovation #GarageStartups #Entrepreneurship #TechGiants #KairospaceJourney

The ARGOTEC SpacePark aims to be one of the most advanced #space factories in Europe, with the capability to build more than 50 satellites per year and encompassing its own Mission Control Center to operate missions. The SpacePark is situated in the iconic building designed by architect Oscar Niemeyer in San Mauro Torinese, just outside Turin. With over 11,000 sqm of operational spaces, about 17,000 sqm of open green areas, and 1,200 sqm dedicated to its Industrial Accelerator, the SpacePark will undoubtedly be one of the places where the #future of space comes to life. Argotec, a corporate partner of ESA BIC Turin, will introduce and present its SpacePark Industrial Accelerator to the #innovation ecosystem with a public event hosted by I3P - Innovative Companies Incubator of Politecnico Torino. The event is open: it is intended not only for start-ups and small companies involved in the space sector, but also for those who want to learn more about the space business and the available opportunities with Argotec.

Diving into the stratospheric vibes with a throwback to Red Bull Stratos! In 2010, Baumgartner took the ultimate leap, freefalling from over 36,000 meters, breaking the sound barrier. Inspired by this feat, we at Involve Space have mastered the art of crafting custom-made stratospheric balloons, showcasing versatility and scalability for lifting various payloads. During Baumgartner's mission, the balloon lifted a whopping 2 tons with a volume of 850,000 cubic meters! Our unique manufacturing process ensures tailored balloons based on your payload, elevating your mission to new heights. Quote of the day from Baumgartner: "When you're on top of the world, you don't think about records. You just think about getting back home safe and sound.” #InvolveSpace #SpaceEconomy #InvestmentOpportunity #Startup #SpaceInnovation

Great to be involved with this event at Posidonia, the global shipping conference in Athens, showcasing start-ups in the maritime sector. The contrast with start-up events of several years back was striking. Decarbonisation, digitisation and innovation have all moved on massively, and the presenters and presentations were very impressive. #innovation #globalsupplychains #decarbonisation #digitisation #keyandco
