In this Space Café Clip from the second edition of the Middle East Space Conference by Novaspace in Muscat, Torsten Kriening speaks with Alexander Epp, Co-Founder of Marble Imaging.
This is a deep and honest conversation about what modern Earth observation is really about: not just launching satellites, but owning the full value chain – from hardware to analytics – and reducing strategic dependency in a rapidly changing geopolitical environment.

In this clip, you’ll hear about:
• Marble Imaging’s successful seed round and the roadmap toward a multi-satellite constellation
• Why controlling data and analytics is just as important as building spacecraft
• How Earth observation supports both security and climate resilience as a true dual-use capability • The growing demand for European technological sovereignty in space
• Why Marble Imaging is exploring partnerships beyond Europe, including in Oman
• How journalism, crisis reporting, and real-world needs helped shape a new space company
• What it takes to scale a NewSpace startup, from talent to international presence
Alexander Epp explains why Marble Imaging is not chasing short-term trends, but building long-term capability: independent data access, advanced analytics, and trusted partnerships that turn space infrastructure into actionable insight on Earth.
Recorded live in Muscat, this clip captures a moment where European NewSpace ambition meets Middle Eastern momentum – and where collaboration, not dependency, defines the future.
