Unseenlabs – a France-based company and global leader in maritime surveillance through detection and geolocation of radio frequency signals from space – announced the closure of an exceptional fundraising round of €85 million. This operation – one of the largest in the space industry – confirms the world’s interest in Earth observation and marks a new milestone in Unseenlabs’ development.
This funding round brings together leading investors: Supernova Invest and ISALT via its Strategic Transition Fund and UNEXO. And Unseenlabs’ historical partners, including 360 Capital, OMNES, Bpifrance, Breizh Up managed by UI Investissement, and S2G Ventures, reaffirm their support for this new phase.
The strategic allocation of funds will focus on:
- Significant expansion of observation capabilities with the launch of multiple satellites.
- Strengthening Unseenlabs’ international presence, especially in the American and Asian markets, is crucial for the maritime sector.
- Consolidating activity within private sector segments like oil and gas, insurance, shipowners, economic intelligence, or offshore energy.
- Innovation and deployment of new products and solutions, thus reinforcing Unseenlabs’ position as a leader in RF maritime surveillance solutions.
Next month, Unseenlabs will be launching two new satellites, BRO-12 and BRO-13, aboard SpaceX Falcon 9 as part of the Transporter-10 mission from Vandenberg Space Force Base (USA).
