The space industry is experiencing unprecedented growth, reminiscent of the excitement following Sputnik’s launch nearly 65 years ago, which marked the dawn of the Space Age. Billions of dollars in private investment have catalyzed a wave of startups focusing on rocket development, satellite systems, and various other aspects of the space business. A significant driver of this growth is the reduced cost of launching satellites into low Earth orbit. Companies once had to pay exorbitant fees, but innovations like reusable rocket stages have lowered the costs of payload. This has democratized space access, enabling a broader range of entrepreneurs and innovators to participate in space exploration. This affordability has led to an explosion in the number and size of satellite constellations. However, this proliferation of satellites has raised concerns about the growing population of objects in low Earth orbit, including both operational satellites and debris. The latter consists of defunct satellites, rocket stages, and fragments from collisions or deliberate anti-satellite weapon tests. This debris could trigger a cascade of collisions, known as the Kessler Syndrome, potentially rendering certain orbits unusable for satellites, especially those used for Earth science and communications. Launches also pose sustainability challenges. Many rockets use fuels like kerosene that emit greenhouse gases and soot. Although launch emissions are minor compared to aviation, they can deposit pollutants in the upper atmosphere, amplifying their impact. The Aerospace Corporation highlights the largely unknown effects of rocket emissions and the reentry of rockets and satellites, which may release materials like aluminum into the upper atmosphere. The space industry’s rapid growth demands sustainable practices to manage satellite constellations, mitigate debris, and minimize environmental impact from rocket emissions to ensure long-term viability and safety of space activities. We are dedicated to working with companies towards a sustainable future by engaging its partners in innovative technologies.
carbon market participants into a global ecosystem for financial and environmental gains, with a focus on energy, water, and food. It serves as a distributed hub and connective tissue to link multiple international carbon exchanges and other buyside carbon emitters and custodians with supply-side carbon offset projects and ESG project owners globally to drive distribution. For the purpose of keeping carbon credit ledger data up to date, their software also communicates with reputable third-party registries.

After a year of service, the e-ferry’s operators concluded that the system has a highly sustainable energy efficiency of 85%, almost twice that of diesel boats. With this background, the US$20 billion market expectation for electric watercraft seems more than reasonable. To support this industry, we are following a firm that has designed, and begun delivering, an electric-powered watercraft. Destined for the lucrative leisure market, this is a mere stepping stone to the huge water taxi market for which a design is already complete.
technology that detects one of the deadliest types of cancer and treats it without damaging healthy cells and tissues. Its electromagnetic stimulation, combined with a nanotechnology system, has demonstrated the preclinical treatment to be safe and effective. The medical device has been classified as class III to chronically treat and reduce cancer’s mass significantly from further development. The firm has started Phase I and seeking investments to support this phase. Based on Phase I results, which will be within 12-15 months, they plan an IPO for Phase II, the last one before the commercial launch in North America by 2024.
The firm’s platform matches investors with advanced learners by exploiting the fully scalable and high-return potential of non-loan Income Share Agreements (ISA’s). Investors in ISA’s may finely tune their investment criteria to match their corporate objectives, which may include CSR targets. Currently, the firm is proposing two types of investment opportunity: in the infinite possibilities of direct investments in ISA’s and, more conventionally, investments in shares (and, as the firm is designated by the French state as an innovative firm, offers the possibility of French residency/citizenship).
