March, 2025 – Astralintu Space Technologies is proud to announce that CEO Matías Campos Abad has been recognized by Forbes Ecuador as one of the country’s most promising young leaders in its 2025 “30 Under 30” list. This recognition highlights Matías’ leadership in building Ecuador’s first private ground station network and his commitment to expanding access to space infrastructure across Latin America and the global south.
As featured in the Forbes Ecuador profile, Matías has led Astralintu from early-stage development to a regional space technology company offering Equatorial Ground Station as a Service (Equatorial GSaaS) solutions.

His inclusion in the list underscores the growing relevance of Latin American entrepreneurship in the space sector and reflects the broader impact of private initiatives in accelerating technological advancement and global collaboration.
