(Bloomberg) – A footwear startup is teaming up with two space companies to design a shoe in orbit as part of a mission to make artificial intelligence and blockchain less expensive and more eco-friendly than it is on Earth.

OrbitsEdge, a company that supports AI and blockchain applications, and Copernic Space, which offers digital marketplaces for space assets, plan to send a solar- and battery-powered satellite to space equipped with a computer that will use AI automation to produce a shoe design for the Syntialy brand.
