Involve

Involve is an innovative Italian startup specializing in near-space missions and advanced aerospace solutions. Founded in 2021, the company operates at the forefront of stratospheric research and development, emphasizing sustainability and high technological value. The organization is distinguished as Italy’s only supplier of stratospheric missions and ranks among Europe's leaders in this domain​​.

Involve’s core offerings are built around its proprietary Stratostats®—stratospheric pseudo-satellites that utilize helium-filled balloons to transport scientific payloads to altitudes up to 40 km. These platforms provide vital services, including Earth observation, defense applications, atmospheric research, and telecommunications. The Stratostats® system is noted for its innovative station-keeping capability, offering real-time, high-resolution data (1 m/pixel) superior to traditional satellites, enabling continuous monitoring where satellites pass intermittently​​​.

The company’s activities extend to atmospheric and environmental research, employing AI-driven software like Neurostar® to optimize flight paths, enhancing mission precision and data quality. Through these technological advancements, Involve Space supports various industries by facilitating experiments related to nanosatellite testing, environmental monitoring, disaster response, and infrastructure oversight​​.

With a focus on sustainability, Involve commits to eco-friendly practices, offering emission-free, reusable balloon systems that align with global standards of social and environmental responsibility. This dedication is underscored by its pursuit of B-Corp certification and collaboration with humanitarian and educational initiatives​​. In addition to its research and development, the company is actively engaged in global expansion, building strategic partnerships in Europe and planning entry into the U.S. market to bolster its influence in high-altitude platform station technology​​.

Involve complements its primary stratospheric missions with pioneering projects like Da Vinci Caelum® and LoonHive®, which align with its vision for future growth. Da Vinci Caelum® provides educational launch kits designed for schools and research centers, enabling small-scale stratospheric experiments and fostering scientific engagement and practical learning​.

LoonHive® represents a major leap in near-space technology, featuring a constellation of stratospheric balloons capable of covering extensive areas, such as the U.S., with only 40 units. This initiative supports high-resolution Earth observation and extends internet connectivity, enhancing network resilience in remote and emergency-prone regions. Unlike traditional satellites, LoonHive® uses AI for precise station-keeping, offering continuous data collection and improved positioning​​.

These projects reflect Involve Space’s commitment to sustainable, forward-thinking innovation, supporting a future where advanced stratospheric solutions contribute to global connectivity, research, and environmental monitoring.
