Strategic partnerships for space AI and autonomous systems development

Machine Intelligence Zrt. seeks strategic partnerships that advance the state of artificial intelligence in space operations while delivering practical solutions to real mission challenges. Our partnership approach emphasizes collaborative development, shared success, and long-term relationships built on mutual capability enhancement rather than transactional service delivery.

Our Partnership Philosophy

We believe the most effective AI systems for space applications emerge from deep collaboration between AI specialists and domain experts. Spacecraft autonomy, planetary defense, and space manufacturing each present unique challenges that require combining technical AI expertise with operational understanding. Our partnership model brings these perspectives together, creating solutions that are both technically sophisticated and operationally practical.

Unlike larger AI providers offering standardized solutions, our focused team structure enables genuine collaboration where partners influence technology direction rather than simply consuming pre-packaged offerings. We invest time understanding your specific challenges, constraints, and objectives, then develop solutions tailored to your needs rather than adapting generic platforms. This consultative approach has proven successful in our ESA collaborations and underpins our vision for future partnerships.

What We Bring to Partnerships

Our technical capabilities span the complete spectrum of space AI development. The DLVS3 simulation platform generates mission-specific training data from CAD models and SPICE ephemeris, addressing the persistent data scarcity challenge in spacecraft autonomy development. Our neural network development expertise encompasses guidance, navigation, and control applications from proximity operations through autonomous docking. NEODetect demonstrates our ability to deploy operational AI systems serving critical space safety missions. The MInD platform delivers industrial-grade quality control solutions that are adaptable to the precision requirements of space component manufacturing.

Beyond technical capabilities, we offer operational experience with the European Space Agency, providing a deep understanding of space program requirements, development processes, and quality standards. Our Hungarian base within the European Union ensures full compliance with EU regulations while offering cost-effective development resources. As an active member of both the Hungarian AI Coalition and the Hungarian space industry cluster, we bring connections throughout European innovation networks.

Our edge computing expertise proves particularly valuable as space systems increasingly require onboard AI processing. We develop neural networks optimized for space-constrained computing environments, balancing performance requirements against power budgets and radiation-hardened processor limitations. The SIMONN demonstration system showcases our ability to deliver flight-ready neural networks suitable for satellite deployment.

Partnership Opportunities We Seek

Space Agency Collaborations: We actively seek expanded partnerships with space agencies worldwide, building on our ESA foundation. For agencies developing autonomous spacecraft capabilities, we offer proven expertise in simulation and neural network development. Planetary defense initiatives benefit from our NEODetect operational experience and scalability. Earth observation programs can leverage our AI capabilities for automated image analysis and feature extraction. We are particularly interested in contributing to agency-led technology development programs and participating in mission-specific AI development.

Satellite Manufacturer Partnerships: Commercial satellite manufacturers face increasing pressure to incorporate autonomy while managing development costs and schedules. We partner with manufacturers to develop GNC neural networks tailored to specific satellite platforms, generate training datasets aligned with mission profiles, and integrate AI capabilities into existing spacecraft architectures. These partnerships can range from discrete technology insertion projects to long-term strategic relationships supporting multiple satellite programs.
