Pan Galactic, the pioneering developer of quantum-safe, secure operating systems for space data, has been recognised as one of the Top 3 Space Tech Startups in HackerNoon's prestigious "Startups of the Year" competition.
The global competition, which attracted participants from across the world and garnered over 4 million votes across all categories, celebrates the most innovative and promising startups in various technology sectors.
Pan Galactic's selection in the Space Technologies category highlights the company's significant contributions to advancing secure data handling in the rapidly expanding space sector. The recognition comes at a critical time when space-based data systems face increasing security challenges and quantum computing threatens traditional encryption methods.
"This recognition reflects the growing importance of quantum-safe security solutions in the space industry," said Flow Collingwood, CEO at Pan Galactic. "What makes this achievement particularly special is that it was driven by the wider tech community, with over 22,000 votes cast in the SpaceTech category alone. We're honoured to be acknowledged alongside other innovators who are pushing the boundaries of what's possible in space technology."
The "Startups of the Year" competition, presented by technology publication HackerNoon, featured sponsorship from industry giants including Hubspot, Wellfound, Notion, Bright Data, and Algolia, lending significant credibility to the selection process.
The competition's public voting system ensured that recognition came not just from industry insiders but from the broader technology community, validating Pan Galactic's approach to solving critical security challenges in space data systems.
Pan Galactic's core technology addresses a growing concern in the space industry: securing sensitive data against future quantum computing threats. The company's quantum-safe operating system provides a robust foundation for space-based applications that require the highest levels of security and reliability.
As satellite networks expand and more critical infrastructure relies on space-based systems, Pan Galactic's solutions offer essential protection against evolving cyber threats.
This recognition as a Top 3 Space Tech Startup positions Pan Galactic at the forefront of space security innovation. The company continues to develop cutting-edge solutions that will enable the next generation of secure space communications and data handling.
