Its primary area of application is the new space economy, where there is growing demand for solutions for launchers, kick-stages, orbital vehicles, in-orbit transfer and refuelling systems, and space infrastructure. \u201cSpace is becoming an industrial infrastructure. For this to happen, we need technologies that are more accessible, more reliable and easier to integrate. E-pumps can help to simplify certain propulsion architectures, reduce costs, increase mission flexibility and support the development of reusable systems.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through a process of technology transfer, DBSpace aims to become a leading player in e-pumps and advanced turbomachinery in other sectors too, such as energy, hydrogen, the maritime sector and sustainable mobility. The company\u2019s technology portfolio includes cross-sector solutions based on high-performance rotating systems, electrification, complex fluid management and cryogenic applications. \u201cOur vision is to develop dual-use technology: designed for space, but also useful on Earth. The challenges we face in space systems are very similar to those that many industrial sectors will have to tackle in the coming years.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Bruna, the point is not simply to build turbomachinery with better performance. \u201cThe real problem with advanced hardware is that it is often developed as a one-off, almost artisanal project. Every new system requires years of work, substantial investment and a vast amount of knowledge that risks not being fully utilised. We want to change this paradigm.\u201d <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the heart of DBSpace lies a proprietary engineering platform, Cognix Turbo, which accelerates the design, validation and development of complex hardware. \u201cWe don\u2019t want to start from scratch with every new project. We want to transform engineering into a cumulative process: every activity, every test, every simulation and every design choice must contribute to making the next stage of development faster and more robust. This is what we mean when we say we want to make advanced turbomachinery scalable, and we achieve this thanks to our engineering platform and our proprietary architectures.\u201d <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is how DBSpace has evolved into an industrial deep-tech organisation, where technologies, intellectual property and engineering capabilities developed for space can also generate spin-offs in other technology-intensive sectors. \u201cOur aim is not simply to sell turbomachinery, but to build industrial capability, technology, methodology and a development chain that enable us to create product families adaptable to missions and applications based on different proprietary architectures. In deep tech, the value lies not only in the final product, but in the way you design, validate, reproduce and improve it over time.\u201d <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DBSpace\u2019s growth trajectory has also been recognised within the space innovation and venture capital ecosystem. The start-up has been selected by ESA BIC Turin, the European Space Agency\u2019s incubator which supports businesses operating in the space economy, and has been added to the portfolios of investors such as Vento, the pre-seed investment programme promoted by Exor, and Galaxia, the national technology transfer hub for aerospace run by CDP Venture Capital and Obloo Ventures. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFor a deep-tech start-up, capital is not just about finance: it is about access to expertise, networks, credibility and speed. But it must also be patient capital, capable of understanding that the development of advanced hardware requires design, validation, testing and industrialisation cycles that differ from those of pure software,\u201d emphasises Bruna. \u201cBeing supported by organisations such as ESA BIC Turin, Vento and Galaxia means being able to build DBSpace within an ecosystem that understands the complexity of our sector and the need to think on an international scale right from the start. \u201cWe are currently raising funds precisely to take this capability to the next level.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The outlook, after all, has been international from the outset. \u201cOur target markets are global by definition. A start-up like DBSpace must be founded with solid roots in its home territory, but with international ambitions and standards. To compete in these sectors, one must build technical credibility, speed of execution and the ability to engage with international clients, industry partners and investors. The capital required is substantial, and we must therefore take action on this front as well.\u201d <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Franco Malerba, a founding partner of DBSpace, Italy\u2019s first astronaut and a symbolic figure representing the link between Genoa and space, also played a significant role in this journey. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DBSpace is thus part of a trajectory that brings together the local area, capital, expertise and cutting-edge technology. \u201cDeep tech is one of the areas in which Italy can play an important role, because we have engineers, universities, supply chains and an industrial culture. The challenge is to transform all this into companies capable of growing and competing on a global scale. We want DBSpace to be recognised as an industrial deep-tech start-up. Space and the maritime sector are the verticals from which we are starting to demonstrate our technology; the scalability of advanced hardware is our true mission. To achieve this, we need expertise, industrial vision and patient capital. The fundraising we are currently undertaking serves precisely this purpose: to accelerate the transition from technology to industrial capacity, with roots in Genoa and global ambition,\u201d
