Understand the need
Start with the customer, the operating environment and the practical problem. Establish why a new capability would matter.

AEROSPACE & SPACE TECHNOLOGY
Connecting emerging capability with the problems that matter. Space NEO is developing commercial opportunities in aerospace and space technology.
01 / OUR FOCUS
A promising technology is a starting point. Its value depends on the problem it solves.
Space NEO explores how aerospace and space technologies—including applications of artificial intelligence and advanced materials—can address commercially relevant problems.
Our work centres on opportunity assessment, commercial planning and the development of relevant partnerships.
Start with the customer, the operating environment and the practical problem. Establish why a new capability would matter.
Consider technical dependencies, commercial assumptions and the path from a research idea to a useful application.
Bring research, technology and commercial perspectives into the same conversation, with clear expectations and disciplined governance.
02 / A FOUNDER’S PERSPECTIVE
Concern about orbital debris led Paul McGillvery to establish Space NEO in 2024. The question behind the venture remains simple: how can we develop the opportunities ahead while taking responsibility for the environment in which we operate?
Conversations with astronauts Michael Baker and Carl Walz helped shape Paul’s thinking about the human responsibility behind the technology.
Space NEO is a developing venture. We are building its direction around a clear commercial case, responsible decision-making and conversations with people doing relevant work.
