Co-Innovation Workspaces
NewSpace Co-Innovation, or collaborative innovation, is when newspace stakeholders work together to discover new partnerships, explore new approaches, solve problems, and accelerate growth.
NewSpace Nexus is igniting the space industry with co-innovation services that accelerate and strengthen product and solution development and business impact. Co-innovation programming includes our nationally recognized State of the Space Industrial Base Program and Pathways to the Stars to grow the space ecosystem workforce. Workspaces include the NewSpace Launchpad which provides space companies with access to shared work, test, and demo spaces, in addition to shared capital equipment and office space.
In addition to workspaces, NewSpace Nexus also operates the NewSpace Equipment Connector, with the goal of rapidly connecting space companies to the equipment they need to design, prototype, and test their hardware and software. The Equipment Connector has over 80 pieces of equipment in the network, primarily in the Albuquerque metro area.
The NewSpace Launchpad is located at 2420 Alamo Ave SE Unit 104 Albuquerque, NM 87106. The entrance is on the west side of the building.
