Simon Gwozdz

For the Founder and CEO of Equatorial Space, Simon Gwozdz, this is more than business – it’s personal. “I remember attending the presentation day of the Singapore Space Challenge back in 2015. I was looking for a way into the ecosystem and SSC looked like a good place to start. Some of the SSTL’s staff had a chat with me, and decided to give me a shot at volunteering at their events. That’s how I got the insights and contacts essential to starting Equatorial Space,” he stated.

“It is heartening to see how SSTL’s suite of programs synergistically spur and support interest in this exciting industry. The accelerator program aims to take on the uphill task of encouraging practical adoption of space-related technologies and at the same time, grow a collaborative space tech ecosystem in the region. ” said Lynette Tan, Chief Executive of SSTL.
