In 2019, Dauren Aubakirov graduated from the Bolashak program at Boston University in the USA, majoring in Project Management. Upon returning to Kazakhstan, he became a co–founder of a space technology startup - SpaceLab.
Kazakh startup SpaceLab, specializing in space technology and developing solutions for disaster prevention and management, has been recognized as one of the best and most promising in California, the largest Pacific state in the United States.
In addition, SpaceLab entered the top five startups in the capital of Silicon Valley - Palo Alto, according to the global F6s community. In addition to the Kazakh startup, space companies from India and the USA - Pixxel Space Technologies Inc., Geosite, Array Labs and WindBorne Systems - entered the top 5.
F6S is the world's largest startup platform, providing access to financing, acceleration programs, vacancies, grants and many other opportunities. The platform features more than a thousand acceleration programs and funds from around the world. More than 11 thousand startups using the platform have attracted a total of $3 billion in investments.
"Being ranked among the top space startups felt like a joke at first. This is really amazing, because F6S is the world's leading network, where more than 2.5 million startups and founders are registered. Currently, we are one of the few startups and young companies in the field of space activities in Kazakhstan. Getting such an assessment from the international professional community in a competitive and expensive industry is a significant motivating factor for us. This gives us an additional impetus for further development," said Dauren Aubakirov, Co-founder, Director of Product and Business Development at SpaceLab.
SpaceLab offers a solution for reliable data transmission using satellite networks. Their Satellite IoVIT (Internet-of-Very-Important-Things) system combines hardware and software components, providing data reception and transmission between specialists, remote computers and IoT devices and the client's central infrastructure. One of the key advantages is the global reach that allows you to transfer data from anywhere in the world. In addition, the SpaceLab solution is flexibly compatible with various satellite networks, which provides greater freedom of choice for enterprises. The relevance of this solution for the market lies in its ability to optimize processes in various industries and contribute to the economic growth of the country.
"In 2023, having become a resident of Astana Hub, we began work on developing the concept of the "Internet of very important things": communication of personnel, computers, sensors and controllers located at facilities vital to the state and business, including, for example, for monitoring the amount of precipitation in the steppe and the current state of the soil for flood predictions. And we are sincerely glad that our desire to provide our native country with sovereign communications and strategic information has been noticed beyond its borders. This motivates us a lot," said Arman Bekembayev, CEO of SpaceLab.
To date, SpaceLab has entered into agreements with Kazakhstani organizations, including telecommunications, mining and medical companies, for the pilot implementation of the project. A number of companies from African countries have also expressed interest in their product, including a request for a pilot launch in Ethiopia. In addition, the startup team is working on scaling the project in the United Arab Emirates market.
