Lisbon, Portugal – 5 August 2026 – Neuraspace, a European provider of AI-enabled Space Domain Awareness (SDA) and Space Traffic Management (STM) solutions, today announced €15.6 million in new financing, combining strategic private investment from Lince Capital, Explorer Investments and Armilar Venture Partners together with funding awarded under Portugal’s Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP), reflecting strong private and public confidence in the company’s growth strategy. The funding will accelerate the expansion of Neuraspace’s commercial and defence capabilities in autonomous space operations, sovereign sensing infrastructure and artificial intelligence.
The investment will expand Neuraspace’s AI platform, accelerate autonomous mission operations, increase its proprietary optical sensing infrastructure, and further develop NeuraspaceDEF, the company’s dual-use capability supporting governmental and defence users with resilient SDA services.
Vasco Pereira Coutinho, CEO of Lince Capital, said: “Neuraspace has established itself as one of Europe’s most promising space technology companies. It combines outstanding technical execution with growing commercial traction in a market of increasing strategic importance. We believe Neuraspace is well positioned to become one of Europe’s leading providers of AI-enabled space domain awareness and space traffic management solutions.”
Chiara Manfletti, CEO of Neuraspace, said: “When Neuraspace was founded, our mission was to make space safer. That mission has evolved with the operational reality. Today, protecting satellites means addressing both accidental risks and intentional threats. Safety and security are no longer separate challenges – they are two sides of the same operational problem.
This investment marks the beginning of Neuraspace’s next phase of growth. We are expanding Europe’s sovereign capabilities in SDA while delivering the AI-enabled operational services that the next generation of commercial, institutional and defence missions will require.”
The new financing builds on Neuraspace’s rapid commercial and technological progress since its founding in 2020, including revenue growth of more than 350% over the past year. Today, the company monitors more than 600 satellites operated by commercial and institutional customers, including Spire Global, GEOSAT, NanoAvionics, Sidus Space, U-Space and the European Space Agency, helping operators prevent collisions, improve operational resilience and safely conduct increasingly autonomous missions. Neuraspace’s growing presence in the defence sector also includes contracts with the Portuguese Air Force and NATO. More recently, Neuraspace was selected as prime contractor by European MoD, further strengthening its position as a trusted European provider of dual-use space safety and security services.
The investment comes at a time when the space environment is becoming increasingly congested, contested and competitive. Alongside rapidly growing collision risks, satellite operators now face cyber attacks, radio-frequency interference, GNSS spoofing and jamming, and increasingly sophisticated counterspace activities that require continuous operational awareness and rapid decision support.
Neuraspace’s platform combines data from commercial and sovereign sensors with high-precision driven orbit determination, AI-enabled risk and threat assessment and autonomous decision support, enabling commercial operators, government agencies and defence organisations to detect, assess and respond more rapidly to both routine operational events and emerging threats.
By combining sovereign sensing infrastructure with AI-enabled data fusion and operational automation, Neuraspace contributes to Europe’s technological sovereignty while reducing dependence on external surveillance capabilities.
