Why we existMission & vision
Mission
To build Africa's space ecosystem: a community of enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, and institutions creating solutions from space data and technology — through advisory, market-entry, policy, education, and start-up support.

A continent where Africans develop their own space-based solutions for the development of their communities.
Space is a lever for Africa's development. We measure our work by what it builds — capability, institutions, and a growing community.
