Air Force International Accelerator

Starburst is the first and only global aerospace and defense accelerator, connecting industry and government with startups while providing innovation and growth support to all. Based in 8 countries, the team has built an ecosystem of key players across aerospace and defense as well as 5000+ relevant startups. There is unprecedented growth in private and commercial investments to fund startups entering the new space economy. The US administration and related policies seek to promote collaboration between private and public sectors to maintain agility, and the timing to evaluate this for USAF is critical. There are many technology areas where privately backed startups can offer a leading edge, ensuring the warfighter has clear advantage. Starburst is ready to provide services to the USAF to collaborate with international partners through participation in a global accelerator as part of this proposal. Starburst has successfully implemented and is currently executing various domestic and international aerospace and defense-focused accelerators, in conjunction with many of our global corporate partners across the supply chain.
