Project name: EnduroSat
EU Contribution: € 10 000 000 equity investment
Location: Bulgaria
The EnduroSat SD-IRS (Software-defined Integrated Radio System) is the first fully integrated and low-cost satellite communication system. It delivers high-speed data downlink and autonomous inter-satellite connectivity from a single terminal. This technology enables European leadership in next-generation services like in-orbit data processing and in-space logistics. By providing more crucial data from fewer satellites, the SDIRS makes space exceptionally sustainable.
Vision & ImpactEnduroSat is transforming the satellite industry into a streamlined data-service. We enable instant access and transactions with space data from hundreds of sensors in orbit. Our software-defined satellites make space universally accessible, turning complex missions into on-demand data services.
CollaborationEIC backing improves credibility with EU institutions and national agencies (e.g., IRIS²/GovSatCom, Copernicus contributing missions, defense dual use), accelerating offtakes and framework agreements that private investors view as bankability drivers.
What's next ?EnduroSat's next-generation FRAME satellite platform enables industrial-scale production, cutting space data costs to €1/GB. This software-defined, modular platform allows for the rapid, cost-effective deployment of Earth Observation, connectivity, and civil security capabilities.
By 2030, EnduroSat will be Europe's largest space infrastructure company by revenue, exporting EU-built technology globally, creating 1,000+ high-value jobs, anchoring 90% of the supply chain in Europe, and enabling sovereign capabilities in Earth observation, connectivity, orbital data centers and defense.
