Where Critical Sectors Meet the Space Economy
Nodes Consulting helps Canadian and European SMBs pivot into the space sector — navigating compliance, forging cross-border partnerships, and removing the barriers that keep capable businesses on the ground.
Infrastructure for Critical Sector Growth
We bridge the gap between established industries and the emerging space economy — providing the strategic advisory, regulatory navigation, and network access that SMBs need to compete in critical sectors.
Space Sector Pivot Advisory
We assess your existing capabilities and identify concrete pathways into space applications — from Earth observation and satellite data to launch supply chains and in-orbit services.
Cross-Border Market Entry
Structured support for Canadian companies entering European markets and vice versa — covering data sovereignty, regulatory alignment, and partnership structuring.
Program & Funding Navigation
Access to CSA, ESA, NRC-IRAP, Copernicus, and other public programs. We identify the right instruments and help you build competitive applications.
Network & Consortium Brokering
Direct introductions within our cross-sector network of founders, investors, policy-makers, and institutional partners across Canada and Europe.
The Opportunity Is Now. The Barriers Are Real.
The global space economy is projected to exceed $1 trillion by 2040 — but most of that value will be captured by companies that act now. For SMBs with transferable capabilities, the window to establish a position is open. The challenge is knowing how to enter, and who to trust to guide you there.
