Our Mission
Our Approach
An expert structure, an extensive network
Nova Cogito relies on an extensive network of institutional and industrial partners, as well as specialized collaborators mobilized according to project needs. We aim for excellence without heavy structure.
Six guiding principles shape our actions
EFFICIENCY
We design high-performance and attractive solutions. Elegant answers to complex problems.
OPENNESS
We favor modularity and interoperability, open standards over closed models.
RELEVANCE
We focus on user experience and all real needs. Technology is a means, not an end.
AGILITY
We favor expert and specialized teams over heavy and monolithic organizations.
PRAGMATISM
We believe in pragmatism, not dogmas. We combine expertise, understanding of issues, humility and ability to question.
SYNERGY
We aggregate and orchestrate the best skills from the European deeptech ecosystem for sustainable and shared development.
JORDI MUNOZ-PONS
Fondateur & CEO
Passionate about science and technology since my early youth, I have spent over two decades turning ambitious concepts into systems that operate in space, in the air, at sea and on Earth.
Having built R&D organisations from scratch and led transformations within established structures, from startups to multinationals, from agile processes to the most rigorous certifications, I chose to create Nova Cogito to unlock new horizons: next-generation space systems, intelligent and frugal systems for industry and the environment.
I also personally guide leaders through their structural decisions and complex programmes.
