Infinite Orbits, a Toulouse-based pioneer of in-orbit servicing, today announces securing an oversubscribed €40 million financing round to deploy its GEO inspection and life-extension satellite fleet and expand its pan-European operational footprint.
The European Innovation Council Fund, along with Matterwave Ventures, Wind Capital, Balnord, IRDI and Newfund Capital, have taken part in this financing round.
“This financing round illustrates how the coordinated mobilisation 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 2025 the European SpaceTech ecosystem has seen a scattered but meaningful set of funding flows across niches like in-orbit servicing, satellite inspection and infrastructure, propulsion systems and space-traffic awareness.
France’s Look Up raised €50 million to expand its radar-based space-traffic management network. Belgium’s EDGX secured €2.3 million to advance onboard edge-computing capabilities for satellites, and Spain’s Kreios Space closed an €8 million Seed round to develop propulsion systems for very low-Earth orbit. The UK’s Spaceflux raised €6.1 million to scale its satellite-tracking network, and Germany’s HyImpulse Technologies attracted €45 million to support work on launch and propulsion systems.
These rounds sum to around €111 million of disclosed investment in these adjacent segments.
A recent EU-Startups article noted that the UK’s share of SpaceTech funding remains modest compared with continental Europe, where France and Germany continue to dominate headline investment in sovereign-capability areas.
This suggests that while the broader servicing and orbital-logistics vertical is gaining traction, much of the capital remains concentrated in a handful of geographies and sub-sectors.
The EIC Fund added: “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.”
Founded in 2017, Infinite Orbits is a NewSpace company that is innovating In-Orbit Services with spacecrafts powered by its Rendez Vous solution, an autonomous vision-based navigation software.
Backed by a €150 million order book to be delivered in the next 3 years, a key factor in securing investors’ confidence, Infinite Orbits is pursuing a growth strategy designed to build a pan-European footprint. Its goal is to strengthen Europe’s space sovereignty.
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.
Wind Capital shared: “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.”
The company 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.
Matterwave Ventures added: “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.”
The funding follows 2024’s €12 million raise to build the first life extension satellite “Endurance” – as reported by EU-Startups.
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.
