What is STAX

We build trust and have fun doing it.

S-T-A-X is an acronym standing for “science, technology, acquisition, [e]xploration”. Our mission is to bring the most important deep tech developments are driving or affecting economic prosperity and security to interested and engaged audiences, where they are—well beyond laboratories, test facilities, conference stages and exhibit halls.

The problem we face today is that while science is advancing exponentially, popular understanding is growing linearly, and the national and international regulatory infrastructure is only inching forward glacially.
