INDUSTRIAL-X Launches New Service Providing End-to-End Support for Space Business Entry and Data Utilization Across All Industries

INDUSTRIAL-X Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and CEO: Tomonori Yako; hereinafter referred to as the Company), which supports corporate transformation through data-driven management, has announced the launch of its "Space Business Expansion Support Service." This service leverages the knowledge and proprietary transformation expertise cultivated through collaboration projects with JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) to provide end-to-end support for companies in all industries, from entering the space business to utilizing data.

## Background of the Service Launch

As the space economy expands toward 2030, the Japanese space industry is experiencing rapid growth with a succession of startups emerging. Consequently, for companies in manufacturing, logistics, construction, and other sectors that previously had no direct involvement with space, outer space is increasingly becoming a frontier (business domain) that creates new business opportunities.

Under the mission of "transforming Japan's industrial structure through the integration of digital and analog," the Company has promoted data-driven management and DX across all terrestrial industries. We are strengthening our efforts to create space businesses under the "Space Twin" concept, which extends this expertise to the space industry as a stage for digital twin technology. We are now officially launching the "Space Business Expansion Support Service," which packages our accumulated track record and knowledge from industry-academia-government collaboration to provide full-stack, end-to-end support for companies from entry into the space business to commercialization.

## Extensive Track Record in Space Industry Expansion Support through Collaboration with JAXA

Aiming to strengthen the competitiveness of Japan's space industry and create new business opportunities, the Company is advancing the construction of the Space Twin Platform in collaboration with JAXA and other partners from industry, academia, and government.

Last year, we were selected as the leading organization for the "FS (Feasibility Study) towards the development of a cross-sectional mechanism for building and innovating the satellite supply chain" under JAXA's "Space Strategy Fund (Development and Demonstration of Satellite Parts and Components for Building a Satellite Supply Chain)." In this project, with Mitsubishi Electric Corporation and NEC Corporation acting as collaborating organizations, we are driving the sharing of satellite architectures and the standardization and efficiency improvement of development processes. Through reducing costs and shortening development times, we aim to secure Japan's competitive advantage in next-generation satellite development.

Through this new service, we will maximize the return of cutting-edge knowledge gained through these JAXA collaboration projects to support the expansion of each company's space business.

## Support Flow of the "Space Business Expansion Support Service"

We provide end-to-end support across the following five phases, from "understanding space" to "implementing it in society as a business."

- STEP 1: Space Understanding and Opportunity Exploration (learning about the space market, generating entry ideas)
- STEP 2: Formulation of Space Entry Strategy (market analysis, identification of entry areas, strategy planning)
- STEP 3: PoC/Demonstration (product function demonstration experiments in a space environment)
- STEP 4: Data Utilization and Infrastructure Construction (utilization of space data, system and infrastructure building)
- STEP 5: Commercialization and Social Implementation (new business development, PR support for space businesses)

## Provided Solutions

We support the creation and growth of space businesses for both companies aiming to enter the space industry and existing space companies wanting to enhance the value of space data.
