SpaceTech: The New Frontier
Building on Toulouse's aerospace heritage, French SpaceTech reaches for the stars:
Kinéis: IoT constellation providing global connectivity for industrial applications. Their nanosatellites enable tracking everything from shipping containers to endangered species.
Exotrail: Electric propulsion systems for small satellites, enabling new space missions. Their technology makes satellite operations more sustainable and flexible.
Dark: Stealth space startup developing interceptor satellites for removing space debris. Their technology addresses the growing crisis of orbital pollution.
The combination of established aerospace industry (Airbus, Thales) with startup agility creates unique opportunities. France's spaceport in French Guiana provides launch capabilities most countries lack.
