Space Forge Information

Space Forge is an advanced materials company producing high-quality compound-semiconductor substrates in the space environment. Behind this is ForgeStar, the world’s first returnable and reusable in-space manufacturing platform, and our in-space growth tool. Why space? Microgravity eliminates defects found in Earth-based materials manufacturing, allowing us to produce higher-purity, higher-performance materials for next-generation semiconductors – unlocking materials impossible to make on Earth. Our wide and ultra-wide bandgap substrates are built on space seeds. Founded in 2018, Space Forge operates across Europe and the USA, from Cardiff and Swansea to Florida's space coast and Santa Maria, Portugal. We're building new supply chains in materials development and chip manufacturing – through materials partnerships, research partnerships, and product qualification on our pilot lines. If you see an opportunity, get in touch. The next industrial revolution is not on Earth.
