Infinite Orbits has raised an oversubscribed €40 million round to accelerate its ambition of becoming Europe’s reference player in in-orbit satellite servicing. The Toulouse headquartered company is positioning itself at the center of Europe’s push for space sovereignty, supported by a growing pipeline of commercial and dual use contracts. With a €150 million order book already secured, the business enters this new phase from a position of unusual visibility and resilience for a young space company.
Strategic Investment and European Sovereignty
The latest financing round is built around a deliberate strategy to anchor Infinite Orbits as a pan European industrial asset rather than a purely French champion. Investors from multiple European countries have aligned behind a shared objective, which is to see a homegrown leader emerge in the strategically sensitive in orbit servicing segment. The company’s focus on inspection and life extension of geostationary satellites directly supports Europe’s effort to maintain autonomy, resilience, and long term operational control in orbit.
Investor Syndicate and Capital Structure
The €40 million round combines equity and venture debt, bringing together the European Innovation Council Fund with Matterwave Ventures, Wind Capital, Balnord, IRDI, and Newfund Capital. This mix of institutional, deep tech, and regional investors reflects both confidence in the company’s technology stack and the perceived strategic value of its services. Backers point to Infinite Orbits’ ability to convert a capital efficient model and early first mover advantage into contracted revenue, which already totals €150 million over the next three years.
Expansion Across Europe
With fresh capital in place, Infinite Orbits plans to expand its operational presence beyond France into several key European markets. New offices are set to open in Luxembourg, Spain, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Poland, creating a network close to institutional partners and satellite operators. This geographic deployment is intended to mirror the company’s existing collaboration with French sovereign stakeholders and replicate that trusted model with other European public and defense customers.
Strengthening In-Orbit Services and Space Sustainability
The funding will also finance the accelerated deployment of a fleet of servicing satellites dedicated to inspection and life extension of critical assets in geostationary orbit. By enabling operators to prolong satellite lifetimes and monitor their platforms more effectively, Infinite Orbits aims to improve both the security and sustainability of orbital traffic. Management argues that this combination of operational support and life extension capabilities will become a cornerstone of a more autonomous and competitive European space ecosystem.
Investor Perspectives and Team Execution
Investors highlight three factors that convinced them to commit capital, namely the quality of the team, the commercial traction, and the strategic relevance of the technology. Backers such as Wind Capital and Balnord emphasize the rare blend of deep scientific expertise and strong commercial execution within a relatively young company, along with its early record in deploying nanosatellites to geostationary orbit. Longstanding shareholder IRDI Capital Investissement underlines chief executive officer Adel Haddoud’s ability to align top tier European investors and secure contracts across civil and defense segments, reinforcing the view that the company can scale into a European champion.
Infinite Orbits’ leadership sees this round as the beginning of a new chapter, in which the company will not only execute its existing €150 million backlog but also open the door to additional use cases beyond 2030. By combining territorial expansion, fleet deployment, and closer cooperation with European sovereign institutions, the company aims to cement its position at the heart of the continent’s space infrastructure. If execution keeps pace with its current trajectory, Infinite Orbits is set to become one of the defining European players in in orbit servicing, and a tangible contributor to Europe’s broader objective of space sovereignty.
