A multiplication strategy serving European sovereignty

Resulting from a deliberate strategy to build a pan-European presence, this financing round is backed by major private investors from across the continent, united by a shared ambition: fostering the emergence of an in-orbit servicing European champion, serving the continent’s space sovereignty.

In this context, the European Innovation Council Fund, along with Matterwave Ventures, Wind Capital, Balnord, IRDI and Newfund Capital, have taken part in this financing round, endorsing Infinite Orbits’ ability to secure a leading position on the European stage and providing the company with the means to pursue its ambitions.

“This financing round illustrates how the coordinated mobilization of European private capital can strategically support the emergence of a leader in in-orbit servicing. With its positioning, the relevance of its service offering, and the excellence of its technical expertise, Infinite Orbits clearly stood out as the ideal European candidate, earning the confidence of customers and investors,” said Adel Haddoud, CEO of Infinite Orbits. 

In line with its pan-European growth strategy, Infinite Orbits also aims to replicate the trusted partnerships it has established with the French sovereign institutions, working closely with other European sovereign counterparts to strengthen cooperation and resilience in orbit.

A phase of expansion and acceleration to address strategic challenges

Supported by first-tier strategic investors from all around Europe, Infinite Orbits is preparing an expansion of its geographical footprint, with new offices being opened in Luxembourg, Spain, UK, Germany and Poland.

At the same time, this financing round will help the company accelerate the deployment of its fleet of satellites dedicated to inspection and life-extension of critical GEO assets to ensure security and sustainability of orbital operations.

By combining territorial expansion and accelerated in-space deployment, Infinite Orbits is becoming a key player in consolidating a more autonomous, competitive, and resilient European space ecosystem.

With a dual-use order book worth €150 million to be delivered in the next 3 years, Infinite Orbits has proven its solidity and gained the trust of customers worldwide.

This new round marks the beginning of a new phase for Infinite Orbits, set to significantly increase its backlog and open the market to new space use cases beyond 2030.

Investors’ Statements on the Financing Round

EIC Fund:

“We warmly congratulate Infinite Orbits on this successful funding round. Their pioneering in-orbit servicing technology — extending the life of satellites and enhancing the sustainability of space operations — embodies the kind of breakthrough innovation Europe needs.”

Matterwave Ventures:

“We were impressed by Infinite Orbit’s pragmatic focus on serving commercially relevant satellite operator use cases in GEO orbits. And the dual use applicability of their capabilities bodes well for the inclusion of Infinite Orbit’s servicers into Europe’s growing sovereign space defence infrastructures.”

Wind:

“The quality of the team was one of the strongest reasons that led us to invest in Infinite Orbits. It’s rare to see a young team that combines such deep scientific expertise with strong commercial acumen. We’re excited to support Infinite Orbits in its mission to strengthen space resilience and sustainability as well as European sovereignty; a perfect fit with Wind’s investment thesis.”

Balnord:

“Infinite Orbits represents exactly the kind of investment Europe needs: a technology leader with proven capabilities in a strategically critical domain. Adel, Akshay, and Manos have built an exceptional team that achieved Europe's first commercial nanosatellite deployment to GEO while securing €150 million in contracted revenue. This rare combination of flight-proven technology, capital-efficient business model, and first-mover advantage in autonomous GEO operations positions them to lead this critical market. We're particularly proud that among new investors, this round unites the Weimar Triangle: Wind Capital from France, Matterwave from Germany, and Balnord from Poland, demonstrating the strategic European cooperation the space sector needs.”

IRDI Capital Investissement:

“Since the beginning of Infinite Orbits' entrepreneurial adventure, Adel has impressed IRDI Capital Investissement with his perseverance and vision for the orbital services market. His ability to unite his teams, bring together a group of high quality European investors, and win over clients in both the civil and defense sectors has been confirmed since our initial investment. Mobilizing our deep tech fund once again to actively participate in this new round of financing was therefore an obvious choice for the Venture Team at IRDI Capital Investissement.”

Newfund Capital:

“We are very pleased to continue supporting Infinite Orbits on its mission to build Europe’s champion in in-orbit servicing as it enters this new phase of growth. We also warmly welcome the new investors joining this journey who share with us this long-term vision and confidence in the team.”
