Slip Robotics is re-architecting how goods move between trucks and warehouses.

Its autonomous “SlipBots” automate trailer loading and unloading – turning one of logistics’ slowest, most labor-intensive processes into a fully automated, hands-free flow of freight. Built for safety, reliability, and speed, Slip’s hardware and software work together as a scalable platform that can deploy across any dock, from automotive plants to e-commerce hubs. With SlipLift and modular tray systems, customers can now move thousands of pounds of cargo seamlessly between facilities, cutting dwell times and operating costs while improving worker safety and efficiency.

Kayhan Space is building the traffic control system for orbit – the “air-traffic control” and “Google Maps” of space.

As tens of thousands of satellites populate low-Earth orbit, the need for autonomous collision avoidance and situational awareness becomes existential. Kayhan’s Satcat platform integrates global space-domain data to give satellite operators real-time insights, automated maneuver planning, and AI-driven decision tools. By expanding the carrying capacity of orbit, Kayhan enables the safe, scalable use of space for communications, imaging, defense, and commerce.

Atomic-6 is advancing the materials and power infrastructure for the next era of space.

Atomic-6 is advancing the materials and power infrastructure for the next era of space. Founded by veterans of SpaceX, NASA, and Teijin Carbon, the company manufactures advanced composite systems for satellites, spacecraft, and defense applications. Its flagship products – the Light Wing redeployable solar array and Space Armor debris shield – deliver lighter, stronger, and more adaptable power and protection than anything in orbit today. These technologies enable faster deployment, higher power density, and enhanced resilience in contested space environments. Atomic-6 is building the pick and shovel of space power – an American-made supply chain for the systems that will sustain orbital operations for decades to come.

AI Fleet is building the world’s first truly scalable trucking carrier – one powered by advanced decision intelligence rather than human guesswork.

The company’s technology autonomously plans and optimizes routes, matches loads, negotiates rates, and processes documentation, transforming a historically manual industry into one that learns and improves in real time. By unifying data from across its network, AI Fleet achieves fleet-level efficiency previously thought impossible – more freight moved with fewer trucks, less fuel, and lower emissions.
