On this edition of The Ex Terra Podcast, Tom Patton talks with Cynthia Bouthot, president of Space Commerce Matters, a pioneer in Low Earth Orbit Demand Creation.

Space Commerce Matters provides a number of services for space agencies and governments, non-traditional commercial customers, aerospace companies, and satellite service providers. Offerings include building demand with end-user customers for LEO activity; studies highlighting gap technologies related to LEO phenomena for R&D and marketing applications; market analyses indicating most promising current and future markets; commercialization roadmaps tied to end-user customers and markets; and generation of funding and investment via strategic partnerships. 

SCM also serves as implementation partner for customers using NASA\\u2019s new commercial allocation. Cynthia and her SCM team have been working with end users in the life science, manufacturing, satellite applications, advanced material and technology development sectors and they truly understand market demand as well as end-user requirements. 

Prior to founding SCM, Cynthia Bouthot was a founding member of CASIS, the manager of the International Space Station National Lab (ISSNL). While there, she established and developed the demand model for private sector entities, focused on utilization and value creation, which ultimately led to more than half of the research on board the ISSNL being conducted by commercial businesses. Cynthia spent nine years working in innovation and new market creation throughout Europe. Cynthia was the Consul, and head of Trade and Investment for the British Consulate in Boston and Head of Innovation and R&D for the whole of the UK and US, with a special focus on space and life sciences.
