Overview

• EDGX closed its €2.3 million seed round on August 11, co-led by imec.istart future fund and Flanders Future Tech Fund managed by PMV.
• The company also signed a €1.1 million multi-unit commercial deal with a satellite operator before its first in-orbit test.
• Three SpaceX Falcon 9 flights are booked beginning February 2026 to demonstrate the Sterna DPU and SpaceFeather software under real orbital conditions.
• The Sterna computer uses NVIDIA Jetson Orin technology and pairs with SpaceFeather’s space-hardened Linux OS to enable autonomous health monitoring, radiation fault recovery and post-launch software upgrades.
• In-orbit AI processing on EDGX hardware is set to accelerate spectrum management, real-time Earth observation and 5G/6G direct-to-device connectivity without ground-station delays.
