PowerIn Space

  • Location: Oberpfaffenhofen
  • Status: Incubatee
  • Application Field: Energy, Other, Upstream

PowerIn Space revolutionizes energy access for aerospace and remote exploration with wireless, laser-based power systems.

Project-S

  • Location: Oberpfaffenhofen
  • Status: Incubatee
  • Application Field: Other, Satellites, Space technologies, Upstream

The growing space debris problem, especially 1โ€“10โ€ฏcm fragments, threatens satellites and missions, with over 900,000 objects in orbit. Traditional ground-based and optical tracking is limited by atmosphere, line-of-sight, and darkness. Project-S tackles this with an AI-driven, radar-based CubeSat system. Its active microwave radar detects small debris in all conditions, while AI onboard and deep learning on the ground provide real-time, accurate tracking.

Pyxis Space

  • Location: Wรผrzburg
  • Status: Incubatee
  • Application Field: Data platforms and IoT, Satellites, Upstream

PYXIS SPACE offers cost-optimized end-to-end solutions for small satellite missions, following the principles of the New Space approach. The companyโ€™s core expertise lies in miniature optoelectronic sensors for small satellite ADCS, with a particular focus on the development, manufacturing, and commercialization of star sensors.

Qkera

  • Location: Oberpfaffenhofen
  • Status: Incubatee
  • Application Field: Energy, Satellites, Upstream

Qkera is a material producer developing battery components as a key platform technology with no compromise on performance, manufacturability and cost – truly unlocking next-generation batteries for mass market applications.

QOODA

  • Location: Oberpfaffenhofen
  • Status: Incubatee
  • Application Field: Downstream, GNSS, Space technologies

QOODA creates and provides high-resolution, high-accuracy magnetic anomaly maps tailored specifically for Quantum MagANav systems. This solution is fundamentally enabled by space technology:
โ€ข GNSS (GPS & Galileo): utilization of precise, centimeter-level GNSS positioning for their survey platforms (aircraft, ships, drones) during data acquisition, ensuring unparalleled spatial accuracy in our maps.
โ€ข Earth Observation (EO): Data from satellites, including ESA’s Swarm mission, is crucial for calibrating their regional maps against globally consistent magnetic models (e.g., IGRF), guaranteeing absolute accuracy and interoperability.

BLACKWAVE

  • Location: Ottobrunn
  • Status: Alumni
  • Application Field: Space technologies

Blackwave helps customers from the mobility sector to save weight in a cost-efficient manner. A weight reduction of 100kg at conventional combustion car leads to fuel savings of 0,7l per 100 km or 4 tons of CO2 over the entire vehicle service life. Therefore, Blackwave is developing and producing lightweight solutions out of carbon fiber sheet molding compound (Carbon-SMC). This process is able to create geometrically complex carbon fiber reinforced plastic parts (CFRP) with high mechanical properties. Unlike conventional manufacturing methods, Carbon-SMC can be automated easily, has short cycle times, generates virtually no production waste and is therefore particularly inexpensive.

Blickfeld

  • Location: Oberpfaffenhofen
  • Status: Alumni
  • Application Field: Downstream, GNSS, Transport / Logistics

Solid-state LiDAR technology for autonomous systems, 3D mapping, and smart cities.

blik

  • Location: Oberpfaffenhofen
  • Status: Alumni
  • Application Field: Downstream, GNSS, Transport / Logistics

blik solves the problem of poor data quality in logistics by means of real-time data on all product locations and states detected by means of sensor units. By using the data, blik allows for more efficient storage, reduction of processes and the optimization of goods flows.The product contains of sensor units attached to load carriers. They continue to continuously transmit their state and location to a software backend over the air. Based on this data, real-time analyses can be carried out over the entire stock of goods and goods flow. This enables companies to continuously improve storage processes and to react immediately to changes in planning.
