SBIC 2026 Mentoring Program
As industries continue to evolve through artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), advanced analytics, and digital technologies, there is a growing opportunity to harness different sources of data with these new digital technologies to solve real-world challenges. Open access to Earth observation (EO), weather, environmental, and other space data can be integrated with other datasets to generate insights that support better decision-making and drive innovation across various applications.
While space data is widely used in agriculture, disaster resilience, environmental management, and marine resources, its potential continues to expand across sectors such as energy, logistics, transportation, tourism, land development, and many others. SBIC 2026 aims to help participants identify these opportunities.
Whether you’re building your first startup, developing the next breakthrough technology, or simply exploring space data, SBIC 2026 is your opportunity to learn from experts, connect with fellow innovators, and take the first step toward building a space-enabled businesses.
More information about the mentoring program, eligibility requirements, and succeeding SBIC activities will be announced soon.
