- Abstract
The global space industry has experienced an unprecedented and accelerated renaissance in recent years. This new awakening is palpable in the great diversity of space products and services with high technical performance, at low costs and in a short time. This as a consequence of the effort of new highly competitive and innovative ventures that challenge the current space "status quo". This disruptive movement called "New Space" is marking a before and after in the commercial development of space activities and their future. In this sense, the Bolivarian Agency for Space Activities (ABAE) as the country's governing body in space matters, perceives in this new reality the possibility of developing an incipient national space sector, sustainable, with its own feet and with a long-term vision. ABAE Space Hub, an initiative of the Bolivarian Agency for Space Activities (ABAE), is space startup incubator, which aims to support innovative and technologically intensive business models linked to the space sector. The idea is to promote, develop and strengthen an incipient national space production ecosystem, with high added value and in strategic areas of the space industry. Likewise, ABAE Space Hub has as its premise to connect space ventures with the set of national industries, universities, research centers, government and organized communities, to generate productive ecosystems at the regional and national level, which are characterized by being resilient, sustainable and strongly linked to their communities. All within a long-term vision of the space sector.
