U Space

Bpifrance Assurance Export supports French space innovation alongside U-Space.

Their need

Bpifrance Assurance Export is supporting U-Space, a renowned French company in its field, in the launch of a replica smallsatellite for a Middle Eastern market. This project marks a strategic step towards the creation of a future constellation of small satellites, designed and operated by U-Space for international clients.

Our Solution

Thanks to Export Pre-Financing Insurance, U-Space was able to secure bank financing to cover the manufacturing phase of the test smallsatellite, which is essential for its commercial development.
