The aerospace and defense industry has evolved into a complex ecosystem, encompassing a wide spectrum of technologies intersecting across multiple sectors, with new players entering every day. Our team is excited to be at the forefront of this industry transformation – now going simply by the name “Starburst”. “Starburst” represents a broader scope of innovation and applications – those that now define our work and vision for the sector. With operations in the U.S., France, Germany, Spain, Israel, Singapore, South Korea, and the UK, and expanding, we are always looking to explore collaboration opportunities.

When I first launched Starburst Aerospace in 2012, it was predominantly an aerospace company. There was a narrow definition of A&D and its umbrella of technologies… unlike today. As the landscape of technological innovation has evolved at an unprecedented pace, so too has our approach as a company. With an unwavering commitment to our mission of building a safer, greener, and more connected world, I’m proud to announce a major milestone: We are adapting our company’s name – from “Starburst Aerospace” to simply “Starburst”. By foregoing “Aerospace” from our name, we embrace a broader identity: one that better reflects the work we’re doing, the partners we’re working with, and the broader startup technologies we’re helping launch and scale. Starburst has been a trusted leader and partner for the A&D sector for over a decade, working with many governments, defense primes, large corporates, startups, universities, investors, and every player in between. Operating through 3 pillars – startup accelerators, strategy consulting, and venture investments – we are continuing to expand and strengthen our global footprint to support the disruptive entrepreneurs that are developing the critical technologies, products, and solutions that address our shared national and economic security interests. We are working with priority technologies that range from AI, Quantum Tech, Biotech, Advanced Materials, and Space Tech, to Robotics and Autonomous Systems, Renewable Energy and Propulsion Tech, and Advanced Manufacturing, among many others. This has included the development of innovation programs that build local innovation ecosystems, such as BLAST with the @French Ministry of Defense, and more recently, as one of NATO’s leading accelerator partners for @DIANA. Our team is honored to help deliver next generation capabilities, by collaborating with leading multinational industry majors including HENSOLDT and Airbus Defence and Space, and work on commercially-focused projects with key global players like Safran. We thank our partners and ecosystem, for being part of our journey as we continue to help shape ecosystem-building in the industry.
