Expanding International Partnerships: EXOS Selected and Accepted into Blackbelt Venture
EXOS Aerospace has been selected and accepted into Blackbelt Venture, a cross-border innovation platform focused on strengthening collaboration between U.S. and Japanese deep technology companies.
Blackbelt Venture evaluates applicants based on technical capability, scalability, and international partnership potential. EXOS’ acceptance reflects the company’s growing role as licensed reusable launch infrastructure serving government, research, and commercial missions.
As global space and defense ecosystems become increasingly interconnected, international alignment is no longer optional. It is strategic.
Strengthening U.S. - Japan Innovation Alignment
Blackbelt Venture operates at the intersection of venture development, industrial partnerships, and cross-border collaboration between the United States and Japan. For EXOS, participation supports long-term engagement with:
Advanced materials and composite manufacturing partners
Aerospace and defense innovation networks
Institutional and corporate investors focused on deep technology
International industrial expansion pathways
Japan’s aerospace and advanced manufacturing sectors are known for precision engineering, long-term industrial investment, and deep technical capability. These characteristics align closely with EXOS’ focus on reusable launch infrastructure and integrated composite structures designed for repeatable flight operations.
Infrastructure That Scales Beyond Borders
EXOS is one of only a small number of FAA-licensed U.S. companies operating reusable launch vehicles. The company’s platform is designed to increase flight test cadence and provide repeatable access to suborbital environments for:
Government research missions
Defense-related flight experimentation
Orbital risk reduction campaigns
University and commercial payload testing
Through its ownership position in Scorpius Space Launch Company, EXOS also advances integrated composite pressurized structures and fractional parts count architectures that support durable, repeatable reusable systems.
Acceptance into Blackbelt Venture strengthens EXOS’ ability to explore international partnerships that complement these capabilities.
Building a Global Footprint
EXOS maintains an international perspective in both operations and partnership development. With team presence in Japan and active engagement across the U.S. aerospace ecosystem, the company is positioned to support future cross-border collaboration as reusable flight infrastructure continues to mature.
Participation in Blackbelt Venture is not an endpoint. It is a strategic step toward expanding global industrial alignment and advancing scalable, reusable launch capability.
