Nebex Partners with Thrusters Unlimited to Structure $700M for Mexico's Sovereign Space Programs

The global space economy is rapidly expanding beyond traditional superpowers, but emerging nations often face massive financial and bureaucratic bottlenecks when procuring satellite and launch services. To bridge this gap, New York-based financial exchange startup Nebex has announced a partnership with Mexican space manufacturer Thrusters Unlimited. Together, they will structure $700 million in capital to fund Earth observation, telecommunications, and other strategic space capabilities for Mexico's sovereign programs.

Founded in 2025 by former Axiom Space executives Tejpaul Bhatia and Anand Subramanian, Nebex operates as a dedicated clearinghouse for global space procurement. While traditional space contracts rely on fragmented, bespoke agreements, Nebex's platform connects sovereign buyers directly with commercial suppliers. In this collaboration, Nebex will manage the cross-border flow of capital and trade-financing solutions, while Thrusters Unlimited provides local supply chain integration and procurement expertise.

This model represents a significant shift in how space infrastructure is funded and acquired. By introducing modern fintech mechanisms—such as milestone-based financing and guaranteed industrial returns—Nebex is lowering the barrier to entry for countries looking to establish space programs. As more nations seek independent Earth observation and communication networks, specialized financial exchanges could become the critical infrastructure that scales the commercial space industry.
