We proudly announce the launch of our next and seventh batch of the CASSINI Business Accelerator. Selected from over 120 applicants, 21 space startups have been chosen to join this new cohort. Over the next 6 months, the accelerator will support these companies with boosting their sales, and will offer training, one-on-one mentoring, and various matchmaking activities.
This time as well, the batch represents a balanced mix of upstream and downstream technologies, with focus areas such as Space Infrastructure, Mobility & In-Orbit Operations, Earth Observation, Geospatial AI & Environmental Intelligence, but also Space-Enabled Life Sciences & Biotech Innovation.
Welcome our Batch 7 participants:
Asitis (Czech Republic) delivers next-generation Urban Greenery Audits that enable cities to understand, measure, and plan their green infrastructure with precision.
Astradyne (Italy) specialises in advanced photovoltaic systems and deployable solar arrays. Its core innovation is a manufacturing concept that reinforces rigid-flex electronics with high-tenacity, high-temperature-resistant textiles, enabling photovoltaic assemblies that combine electrical performance with ultra-light weight, flexibility, and mechanical robustness.
Blackswan Space (Lithuania) builds a focused technology designed to address the growing number of assets in orbit by expanding the range of autonomous activities including autonomous navigation, in-orbit asset inspection, servicing and robotic manipulation.
CDXi Solutions (Greece) integrates advanced Machine and Deep Learning architectures, Computer Vision techniques, and Copernicus-based EO data exploitation methodologies to deliver scalable, decision-support solutions primarily for the water quality market.
Delta Biosciences (Lithuania) designs and develops molecules for terrestrial use while leveraging space as a unique experimental environment to advance biochemical formulations, shelf-life extension strategies, radiation countermeasures, and space-induced accelerated aging models, including improved organoid systems.
Edge Aerospace (Luxembourg) builds space-qualified computing and data-networking systems for spacecraft.
Exobiosphere (Luxembourg) - their Orbital High-Throughput System enables large-scale, automated testing in space, creating unique disease models in microgravity to bridge the gap between laboratory research and real-world clinical applications.
Fast Hazard (Netherlands) provides fast and easy tooling for dealing with climate change and reducing risk for governance, planning and management.
FibreCoat (Germany) develops and produces lightweight, high‑performance, cost‑effective materials that protect satellites against radiation, heat and electromagnetic interference.
GATE Space (Austria) develops high-performance chemical propulsion systems for satellite and spacecraft mobility.
Klarifi (Denmark) helps wastewater solution providers identify and engage the right treatment facilities. A core part of their product is satellite imagery-powered detection of wastewater structures such as lagoons, clarifiers and digesters.
Kreios Space (Spain) is pioneering the development of the first Air-Breathing Electric Propulsion system specifically designed for Very Low Earth Orbit, an engine that enables satellites to fly at altitudes from 150 to 300 kilometers by capturing and using atmospheric particles as propellant.
Madrid Space (Spain) offers thermal, CFD & mechanical engineering solutions for aerospace and defense applications.
Marble Imaging (Germany) is building its constellation of very high-resolution satellites to provide up to hourly Earth Observation data and analytics for time critical insights of our planet.
Orbital Matter (Poland) develops in-orbit manufacturing systems that enable satellites to build large structures in space. By replacing traditional deployables with compact payloads, the company helps operators overcome launch constraints and achieve higher performance.
Orbital Paradigm (Spain) builds the first fully reusable orbital kick stage for in-space logistics and mobility, enabling fleet-based operations, better unit economics, and a broader range of applications than single-use vehicles.
Realtra Space Systems (Ireland) designs, develops and manufactures space electronics and avionics using commercially off the shelf components combined with our miniaturisation and ruggedisation expertise.
Solutions Connektica France (France) - a SaaS platform that helps space manufacturers design, execute, and monitor their assembly, integration, and testing processes, cutting production costs & cycle time while strengthening quality control and regulatory compliance.
SPACETREES (Czech Republic) is an AI-powered forest intelligence company delivering tree-level insights from Earth Observation and aerial data to support better forest inventory, valuation and monitoring.
Tenics (Germany) specialises in space software engineering: from embedded flight software to ground control systems, we develop mission-critical software that works just as reliably in orbit as on the ground.
Vexiza (Spain) - a software development company specialising in GIS, Big Data, and AI, aiming to enable organisations to perform large-scale data analysis by providing geographic context.
The CASSINI Business Accelerator programme is part of the European Commission's CASSINI Initiative, designed to support the space ecosystem and investments. Launched in January 2023, the CASSINI Business Accelerator is the biggest space startup accelerator in Europe.
