Who we are
Orbital Bridge is a strategy and innovation consultancy bridging the UK, Spain and Europe. We translate space capability into real-world impact through cross-border collaboration.
We are the decisive factor behind your success
Founded between the UK and Spain, Orbital Bridge acts as a collaborative amplifier, strengthening strategic partnerships, enabling cross-border programmes, and accelerating the adoption of space-based solutions across Europe.
We work at the intersection of industry, government and academia, translating complex space capabilities into practical value for businesses, institutions and society. We believe collaboration, not competition, is the true engine of progress.
That’s why we work across borders, not within them, connecting what’s technologically powerful with what’s economically and humanly meaningful.
