Creating the world that
connects humanity —
to a new era of
culture and abundance.
BUNJI GATE plans, develops, and operates spaceports.
By building Asia's largest spaceport
— a gateway between Earth and space —
we are opening the way for people and cargo to reach beyond our planet.
MISSION
Creating the world that connects humanity to a new era of culture and abundance.
VISION
A spaceport hub connecting Earth and space, where space becomes everyday life.
VALUE
Work with integrity,
build steadily,
move swiftly.
WHAT WE DO
Anchored by a Launch Site
— We Build the City and
the Region Around It —
For us, a spaceport is more than a launch site for rockets and spaceplanes.With the launch site at its core, we take on the development of the surrounding city
and the growth of the region as one integrated undertaking.
That is what spaceport creation means at BUNJI GATE.By building a spaceport that connects Earth and space,
we are creating both a world where people and cargo travel between them,
and a thriving local economy on the ground.
