As announced in our recent press release, the satellite data co-creation program SateLab, launched in May 2024, has been officially renamed SateBiz as of July 2025. Over the past year, we have gained valuable insights through joint demonstrations with partner companies, and are now evolving into a consortium with a stronger focus on real-world business implementation.

This activity report highlights the newly announced collaborations with ASTRO GATE, Inc. and VegaCosmos Co., Ltd., a recap of our June webinar with an archive viewing link, and a preview of upcoming webinars and activities.

■ From “SateLab” to “SateBiz”

The new name “SateBiz”, a fusion of Satellite and Business, reflects our commitment to going beyond the demonstration phase and driving real-world deployment and sustainable commercialization of satellite data applications.

Nearly 50 domestic and international companies have joined the program to co-create solutions across diverse fields including agriculture, disaster management, and urban development. Going forward, SateBiz will continue to serve as a dynamic engine accelerating the social adoption of satellite data through cross-industry collaboration.

■ Strategic Partnership with VegaCosmos in Vietnam

Space Shift has entered into a strategic business alliance with VegaCosmos Co., Ltd., a geospatial technology company under Vietnam’s Vegastar Group. The partnership aims to jointly develop advanced geospatial applications and technologies leveraging satellite data.
