Marcantonio Global is a company that is dedicated to bridging the gap between cutting-edge technology and critical defense needs.
"I think that the lines between commercial space and the defense sector is blurring, with private innovators and innovations. If you're looking at rapid launch and surveillance that's been deployed to protect troops and national interest."

This week on The Ex Terra Podcast, Tom Patton talks with Nino Marcantonio, the founder and CEO of Marcantonio Global about how the firm works with space companies to make the right connections within the U.S. Government.
With a focus on investment strategies, policy navigation, and market analysis for the rapidly evolving commercial space industry, their mission is to bridge the gap between cutting-edge technology and critical defense needs. That mission is achieved through accelerating innovation in the defense sector by fostering collaboration between innovative technology companies and defense organizations. And, he said, the intersections are many.
"I think that the lines between commercial space and the defense sector is blurring, with private innovators and innovations. If you're looking at rapid launch and surveillance that's been deployed to protect troops and national interest," Marcantoni said. "Some actors might use that as something nefarious, some actors might use that as crowd control. I think what we're seeing with SpaceX is absolutely something that, where real innovation comes in. These launches that they're doing, that they're catching the payload is absolutely amazing. You have all sorts of other players. HawkEye 360, Responsive Space Solutions, you've got Starlink helping Ukraine. That was an incredible thing, to help out a nation that was in need. It changed the character of the war. When you're able to use that kind of capability it can change the war outcome, which is really incredible."
Marcantonio Global connects innovators with defense leaders, delivering measurable results in national security enhancement.
