Astrum Drive Technologies Selected for TechCrunch’s Startup Battlefield 200 at Disrupt 2025

We’re thrilled to announce that Astrum Drive Technologies has been selected for TechCrunch’s 2025 Startup Battlefield 200—chosen from thousands of global applicants as one of the most ambitious and innovative startups in the world. This is where visibility meets momentum, and we’re honored to be on the list that VCs, corporates, founders, and the global tech community watch to discover what’s next.

As part of the SB200, we’ll be featured at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, October 27–29 in San Francisco—the most iconic stage in tech. With past Battlefield alumni like Dropbox, Cloudflare, Mint, and Trello, it’s inspiring to join such company—especially in TechCrunch’s 20th anniversary year, set to be the biggest and boldest Disrupt yet. We can’t wait to share what’s next and connect with the community. 

We’re incredibly proud to announce that Astrum Drive Technologies has been awarded the Power of People Innovation Award at SpaceTank 2025 during Space Tech Expo! This award recognizes our propellantless propulsion system as a game-changing technology voted most impactful by industry leaders, investors, and fellow innovators.

Thank you to the SpaceTank organizers, judges, and everyone who believes in our mission to revolutionize space exploration. This recognition fuels our passion to push boundaries and bring sustainable, scalable propulsion to the next generation of spacecraft.

Astrum Drive Technologies, a pioneer in propellantless space propulsion, has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with Space Ocean Corp, a leader in orbital fluid logistics and deep-space infrastructure. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in the commercial demonstration of Astrum’s revolutionary propulsion system—technology that eliminates the need for conventional fuel in spaceflight.

“This partnership accelerates our path to full orbital validation,” said Dr. Ivaylo Vasilev, CEO of Astrum Drive. “We’re thrilled to work with Space Ocean to bring our fuel-free propulsion system into space, where it can dramatically reduce costs, extend satellite lifespans, and open new frontiers for maneuvering and servicing missions.”
