Megazone Cloud is collaborating with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and the Aerospace Agency to support domestic space and satellite startups. This year, the program aims to select 15 to 20 domestic startups to enhance their cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) technology and commercialization capabilities.
On September 14, Megazone Cloud announced that it is recruiting participants for the 'AWS Space Accelerator: Korea 2026' program, targeting domestic space and satellite startups.
The AWS Space Accelerator is a global startup support program that provides cloud technology and business mentoring to enhance the technical development and business growth of startups in the space industry. Since its launch in 2021, it has supported the establishment and expansion of space startups in the United States, Australia, India, and Japan.
This year's program in Korea involves AWS, the Aerospace Agency, and Megazone Cloud, with Megazone Cloud overseeing the overall program operations, including hands-on labs and one-on-one technical mentoring.
Eligible startups include those involved in satellite manufacturing and operation, earth observation, launch vehicles, orbital services, space communications, space-related AI, and space software. Companies based in Korea that plan to develop space systems on AWS, from early-stage to pre-Series B, can apply.
Selected companies will receive cloud and AI technology sessions, hands-on labs, and business coaching, along with networking opportunities with investors and industry stakeholders.
Applications will be accepted until October 2. Following this, evaluations and onboarding will take place in October, with the program set to begin on October 27. From then until November 13, participants will engage in cloud and AI technology sessions, hands-on labs, and business coaching, culminating in pitching opportunities at international space events and a final pitch day and graduation ceremony.
Yum Dong-hoon, CEO of Megazone Cloud, stated, “We will support domestic space and satellite startups in enhancing their technological competitiveness through cloud and AI technologies, connecting them to actual business growth. We hope this program serves as an opportunity for promising startups to connect with investors, customers, and the industry ecosystem, facilitating their growth in both domestic and international markets.”
