With the Orbital DLC, the Orbital Station comes with a Technology Nexus that allows corporations to develop new technologies that enhance either their production or combat capabilities.
Orbital Stations are limited to five laboratories of a single type. Keep in mind that you are limited to 12 Workshops total, so you may never have all technologies simultaneously.
