Open Cosmos Targets Mexico Space Sector

Open Cosmos, a leading company in satellite manufacturing, space infrastructure, and Earth observation services, has announced that Mexico plays a key role in its international expansion strategy.

After recently completing a US$336.4 million funding round, the company has entered a period of strong growth. Investment in the development of space capabilities will strengthen Open Cosmos's ability to expand its international operations and consolidate its presence in global markets.

Over the past few years, Open Cosmos has developed a model based on collaboration with governments, institutions, and organizations to deploy space capabilities tailored to the needs of each country.

As part of its expansion into the Middle East and Asia, Open Cosmos is closely following developments in Mexico's space sector, particularly the space program planned under the current administration and initiatives aimed at strengthening national capabilities in areas such as Earth observation, land management, environmental monitoring, and resilience to natural disasters.

Open Cosmos's experience in developing national space programs and establishing sovereign Earth observation infrastructure aligns with the ambitions of countries seeking to expand their technological capabilities and harness the potential of space-derived data to drive innovation and economic growth.

Rafel Jordà, CEO and founder of Open Cosmos, stated, "Our experience shows that developing space capabilities generates benefits that go far beyond technology. It helps drive innovation, strengthen the industrial base, and improve our ability to respond to economic, environmental, and social challenges. Mexico has a very significant technology ecosystem and industrial base, and we believe there are significant opportunities for collaboration to continue driving the development of space capabilities in the country."
