Space Data Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Kohei Sato; hereinafter referred to as "Space Data") is launching a monthly advisory service that provides continuous expert advice for companies aiming to enter or establish a presence in the defense industry, public sector, and international cooperation fields. This service, offered through its next-generation resilience platform "NEXA," combines individual meetings, research and analysis, and monthly study sessions, providing tailored, ongoing support on a fixed-fee basis.

Background of Service Provision

The defense, public, and international sectors require specialized expertise distinct from private business activities, including unique systems, procurement processes, and methods for consensus-building with relevant organizations. While business opportunities are expanding, the hurdles to entry and establishing a presence are high, with only a limited number of companies possessing in-house knowledge.

In September 2024, Space Data initiated a joint project with the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA), implementing AI-integrated disaster prevention digital twins in developing island nations and Commonwealth countries, including Tonga, Ghana, and Trinidad and Tobago. These international cooperation efforts received the Minister for Foreign Affairs Award at the "7th Space Development and Utilization Grand Prize" hosted by the Cabinet Office in March 2026.

Domestically, Space Data established the "National Security Business Division" in April 2025, marking its full-scale entry into the defense business. By providing its integrated technology platform "PROVIDENCE" to the defense and security sectors and engaging in multiple government-related projects, the company has accumulated expertise in business development and collaboration with relevant organizations in the defense and public domains. Furthermore, in April 2026, it launched "NEXA," a resilience platform featuring expert columns on geopolitics, security, and cyber, thereby expanding its network of domestic and international experts and practitioners.

"NEXA" systematizes the knowledge and unique global network cultivated by Space Data to support companies considering entry into or strengthening their business in the defense, public, and international sectors.

Service Overview

This fixed-fee service offers the following advisory menus:

Defense Industry Advisory: Provides advice on entering and expanding business in the defense sector.

Lobbying/Public Sector System Building Advisory: Offers guidance on consensus-building with relevant organizations (lobbying) and establishing internal systems for engaging in public sector projects.

International Cooperation Support Advisory: Provides advice on "creating business opportunities" in line with national policy responses, "building cooperative relationships" with diverse partners, and "procurement support."

Additionally, security advisory services are planned for the future.

Each menu is delivered through a combination of the following three formats:

Individual Meetings: 60-minute meetings held bi-weekly (twice a month) to provide continuous advice on specific challenges.

Research & Analysis: Up to 5 hours per month dedicated to research and analysis on necessary themes.

Monthly Study Sessions: Paid study sessions held monthly, primarily offline, offering networking opportunities among participants.

This enables client companies to continuously receive the necessary advice and information from the preparation and launch phases through to the operational phase, by sharing knowledge on systems and stakeholder engagement—which would take significant time to accumulate independently—with "NEXA."
