It is not a well-known sector, but there are interesting startups that you should know about.
If we analyse the sectors and subsectors in which there are the most startups, the portrait is usually more or less frequent: social networks, ecommerce, apps aimed directly at the user, B2B services… In general terms, there are a series of more concurrent activities in the startup world.

1. PLD Space
Perhaps the best-known Spanish startup within this range. With nearly 40 employees at its facilities in the Science Park of the Miguel Hernández University of Elche, PLD Space has long stood out in all kinds of space rocket developments. It is currently finalizing the final design of the engine that will be integrated into Arion 1, the company’s first rocket, which is scheduled to launch by the end of 2018, after two years of testing of its liquid-fuel engine.
In addition, PLD Space also works together with the European Space Agency (ESA) within the framework of the Future Launchers programme and the Liquid Propulsion Stage Recovery (LPSR) project.
2. Skylife Engineering
Emerged as a spin-off of the Electronic Technology Group of the University of Seville, Skylife Engineering is a company dedicated to aeronautical Industrial Engineering, especially electronics applied to avionics, for the design and development of new products and/or improvement of existing ones. The company uses software design tools to develop, improve and realize avionics, mission, security and defense systems, real-time monitoring systems and flight management and control systems for unmanned vehicles, among other things.
