(Venus Aerospace: Houston) -- Venus Aerospace has been selected for the World Economic Forum’s 2026 Technology Pioneers cohort, joining 100 early-stage companies recognized this year for their potential to reshape industries and address global challenges.

Many of the technologies expected to shape the future, from advanced space infrastructure to new forms of global mobility, ultimately depend on the same foundational capability: propulsion. It determines how far systems can travel, how quickly they can move, what they can carry, and what new missions become possible.

Venus is working to expand those boundaries by turning a new class of rocket engine, the rotating detonation rocket engine (RDRE), into full propulsion systems for defense and space, with longer-term potential for new classes of high-speed flight.
