## Overview
Aerospacelab (https://techwiki.ai/companies/aerospacelab/llms.txt) was founded in Charleroi (https://techwiki.ai/cities/charleroi/llms.txt) in 2018 by Benoit Deper (https://techwiki.ai/people/benoit-deper/llms.txt). The company focuses on industrializing satellite manufacturing, moving the industry from bespoke, slow production toward a high-throughput factory model capable of producing 500 satellites per year.

The company's funding trajectory reflects strong institutional confidence: a EUR 37.5M commitment from the European Investment Bank was followed by a EUR 94M Series B in August 2025, bringing total raised to EUR 131M. The EIB involvement signals Aerospacelab's strategic relevance to European space sovereignty ambitions.

Aerospacelab operates across commercial satellite manufacturing and defense-adjacent markets. Its Wallonia (https://techwiki.ai/cities/wallonia/llms.txt) location is notable, as the region has historically been less prominent in the Belgian tech ecosystem compared to Flanders (https://techwiki.ai/cities/flanders/llms.txt) and Brussels (https://techwiki.ai/cities/brussels/llms.txt).
