&lt;p&gt;We were proud to host a SideTalk session, meet with forward‑thinking leaders, and listen to panels that highlighted where space communications are headed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A key takeaway resonated strongly with us:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The future space data layer will not rely solely on optical/laser links.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;RF will continue to play a vital role, working alongside optical solutions to build resilient and scalable space networks.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This perspective aligns perfectly with our mission. At our company, we’re developing the RF‑based inter‑satellite communication solutions that will complement optical systems and enable robust connectivity across next‑generation constellations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A big thank-you to everyone who joined our discussions, shared insights, and helped make the event so impactful. If we didn’t get the chance to connect during the symposium, we’d love to continue the conversation - feel free to reach out!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Vi fik værdifuld og konstruktiv feedback, og det var samtidig fedt at netværke med andre ambitiøse startups.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tak til Aalborg Investor Summit og teamet bag for et veltilrettelagt forløb. Vi ser frem til næste workshops og til at fortsætte rejsen frem mod AIS 2026!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Selvom vi har erfaring med at pitche, stiller varierende format og publikum nye krav fra gang til gang. Pitch Bootcampen giver os værdifuld indsigt i, hvordan vi kan tilpasse og skærpe vores pitch overfor særligt investorerne. Den konstruktive feedback gør os skarpere hver gang, og det er præcis derfor, vi er med i forløbet frem til Aalborg Investor Summit.”&lt;/p&gt;

That is how most satellites work today: they collect data in orbit and then have to “come home” over a ground station before they can deliver it. PermaSat instead wants satellites to connect directly into existing 5G non‑terrestrial networks, so they can stay online and send back valuable data continuously, not just in short contact windows.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of the clearest impact cases is Earth‑observation missions for disaster monitoring. When a wildfire or flood hits, getting imagery and data instantly instead of hours can change how responders act on the ground. In PermaSat’s vision, satellites no longer have to wait for the next pass over a ground station before sharing what they see, they transmit as soon as the data is generated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As part of the ESA BIC Denmark programme, PermaSat is now turning this “5G for space” concept into a robust, scalable connectivity layer that can support the next generation of European space missions; starting from a master‑thesis prototype and growing into a commercial platform built by a team of electrical engineers and space‑communications specialists.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Read more about them in the full article on our website: https://lnkd.in/eii9QGxR&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;#5G #SpaceConnectivity #LEO #Satellites #NewSpace #ESABICDenmark #SpaceForEarth #EarthObservation #DisasterResponse #Telecom&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://permasat.com/img/news/2025-12-30-meet-permasat/1.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;ESA BIC Denmark featured startup: “Bringing 5G for satellites to life”, with a photograph of the PermaSat co-founders.&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://permasat.com/img/news/2025-12-30-meet-permasat/2.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;ESA BIC Denmark slide: satellites currently collect data in orbit and wait to pass a ground station to deliver it, like a phone with only home Wi-Fi.

&lt;p&gt;The past week has been an intensive and inspiring introduction, where we refined our pitch, sharpened our vision, and connected with an incredible community of innovators.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A huge thank you to the ESA BIC Denmark team, the fellow startups, and the pitch panel for the constructive feedback, valuable insights, and warm welcome. Your support is already shaping our next steps.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We’re truly excited for what lies ahead, and ready to keep pushing the boundaries of ultra-low-latency, high-speed LEO connectivity.&lt;/p&gt;
