- Start new businesses,
- Achieve growth objectives in core and adjacent markets,

Profit margins and business motivations vary widely across the industry, as do capital requirements, barriers to entry, and the influence of government and private stakeholders.
We help clients secure a profitable and defensible market position and work across the value chain to support companies that build components, integrate complex platforms, launch satellites, deploy ground systems, operate spacecraft and provide hardware and services for military, civilian and commercial markets across the globe.
