Overview
- EDGX closed a €2.3 million seed round co-led by imec.istart future fund and the Flanders Future Tech Fund managed by PMV to advance its onboard AI capabilities.
- The startup also secured a €1.1 million multi-unit commercial deal with a satellite operator, representing its first booked revenue.
- Its flagship Sterna data processing unit is built on NVIDIA Jetson Orin hardware and runs the SpaceFeather software stack for autonomous in-orbit AI workloads.
- An in-orbit demonstration is slated for a SpaceX Falcon 9 launch in February 2026, with two additional flights scheduled later that year to validate performance.
- Investors say the financing bolsters Europe’s competitiveness in space edge computing by shifting data processing from ground stations into orbit.
