KETS on Mars

We’re very excited to announce that alongside our QTEC friends at QLM, we’re taking part in Mission 2 of Seraphim Space Camp, the world’s first dedicated accelerator for global start-ups in the SpaceTech industry.

Launched by Seraphim Capital, Space Camp is being run from the London St. Paul’s offices of global law firm and Space Camp delivery partner Dentons. Our other partners include Inmarsat, Rolls-Royce and Cyient, as well as the UK and European space agencies, SA Catapult, and Capital Enterprise, alongside Seraphim Space Fund partners including Airbus, Surrey Satellite Technology, SES, and Telespazio.

Chris, our CEO commented, “Seraphim Space Camp provides us with  a unique opportunity to get into SpaceTech at a very early stage and in particular is giving us access to key primes who we would otherwise find it hard to engage directly – particularly as we have the only form factor which could ultimately make space QKD a reality.”

Space Camp Director, Rob Desborough said: “We’re excited to welcome a new cohort to the Space Camp programme, expanding on the first cohort to help ten startups. This follows the incredible response to the first cohort, with four out of the six members each securing offers of investment of at least £1m.

We are looking to identify the top 1% of seed-stage SpaceTech start-ups to participate in Space Camp, and it was a rigorous process with our partners to narrow down the applicants to the final 10 start-ups that have now embarked on Mission.”
