We are the Think Tank driving the mainstream adoption of space technologies across both space and non-space sectors.

Who We Are

The SST Think Tank is Asia’s first space innovation think tank focused on commercialising space. We bridge technology and communities to harness the power of space for the benefit of future generations – by mainstreaming space into the fabric of everyday life, industry, and innovation. Formerly SSTL, it has drawn on its work as an ecosystem builder, connecting global space expertise with the practical needs of non-space sectors such as agriculture, climate resilience, finance, logistics, and ESG.

Through commercially relevant projects, research, and strategic platforms, the SST Think Tank helps decode the space economy and shape its integration across business and society.

What We Do

Driven by a passion to advance the space economy, we provide commercially relevant research and cross-industry insights that demystify space technologies and align them with emerging market needs.

How we mainstream space:

Workshops and trend reports exploring the intersection of space with aviation, ESG, agriculture, finance, and more.

Design-thinking formats for corporates to explore use cases tailored to their challenges.

High-impact platforms, like GSTCE, spotlight how space technologies transform various industries.

Collaborations with Key Opinion Leaders from academia, investment, industry, and space science to shape new narratives and co-create market intelligence.

Our work is about igniting ideas, forging partnerships, and unlocking space’s full potential to benefit people, industries, and the planet. We help Asia become an active shaper of the global space economy.

What the world knows us for:

A premier platform for your space and satellite enterprise to forge connections across Asia and beyond.
