Oxantium Ventures and NASA Ames Research Center (ARC) have signed a Space Act Agreement that establishes a relationship designed to give NASA a more full awareness of technology research and development taking place among start-up technology companies. While ARC’s location in California’s Silicon Valley puts it in close proximity to a high volume of innovative technology companies, universities and laboratories, a partnership with Oxantium under the Space Act Agreement affords ARC a look at emerging technology companies that remain outside of the visible landscape. “Oxantium is pleased to be able to support Ames as it continues to research and develop the critical enabling technologies that make NASA missions possible,” said Oxantium’s Drew Bewick.
