Space Tech Overview
With the rapid growth in the private space industry, it's imperative that emerging US and foreign space tech companies establish a strong US presence to compete and thrive. As the leader in space technology and exploration, America represents nearly 58% of the total government space investment globally.
Establishing a US foothold provides vital benefits including easier access to customers like NASA and the DoD through relationship building, navigating regulations and policymakers, capital and financing from Silicon Valley investors, and exceptional aerospace engineering talent from top universities. With the US dominating the ecosystem and resources for innovation, foreign companies must tap into these advantages.
Crafting an optimal strategy is crucial. The Gram Group partners with each client to define objectives, tailor strategic plans, and define those tactical steps necessary to ensure your endeavors to expand into the US market are aligned with desired outcomes and grounded in the realities of this business environment.
