Infinite Orbits has raised an oversubscribed €40 million financing round to accelerate its position as Europe’s leading in-orbit servicing provider. The company, headquartered in Toulouse and already recognized as a global pioneer in the sector, plans to leverage the new capital to expand its European footprint, accelerate satellite deployment, and strengthen the continent’s space sovereignty.
The investment arrives at a moment of rapid growth for the company, which holds a €150 million dual-use order book scheduled for delivery over the next three years. This demand has been a critical factor in attracting a broad coalition of investors from across Europe, all aligned around the goal of establishing a continental champion capable of supporting strategic autonomy in orbit.
The round includes participation from the European Innovation Council Fund, Matterwave Ventures, Wind Capital, Balnord, IRDI and Newfund Capital. Their support reflects confidence in Infinite Orbits’ ability to scale its fleet of satellites dedicated to inspection and life extension of GEO assets, business lines that are becoming increasingly essential as more operators face the operational and security challenges of managing high-value orbital infrastructure.
With new funding in place, Infinite Orbits plans to open offices in Luxembourg, Spain, the United Kingdom, Germany and Poland. These expansions are designed to mirror the relationships the company has built with French sovereign institutions and will form the basis for a broader network of European cooperation aimed at resilient and sustainable orbital operations.
The company’s patented vision-based autonomous navigation solution, purpose-built for in-orbit rendezvous, is a key technical differentiator supporting its commercial and strategic relevance. Combined with its fleet expansion plans and pan-European presence, Infinite Orbits expects to significantly grow its backlog and support new in-orbit servicing use cases well beyond 2030.
Founded in 2017, Infinite Orbits operates in space-based SSA, satellite inspection and GEO life extension. In addition to its French headquarters, the company also maintains operational offices in the United States and Singapore as it advances its ambitions for global leadership.
The €40 million round includes both equity and venture debt and is intended to accelerate the company’s progress toward becoming Europe’s leading provider of in-orbit servicing within the broader framework of European space sovereignty.

“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,”
Adel Haddoud, CEO of Infinite Orbits
“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.”
European Innovation Council Fund
“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.”
Matterwave Ventures
“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.”
Wind Capital
“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.”
Balnord
“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.”
