- KU Leuven spin-off Tusk IC haalt 15 miljoen euro op, o.a. bij het Flanders Future Tech Fund dat door PMV wordt beheerd, om satellietcommunicatie te democratiseren. In combinatie met gangbare CMOS-halfgeleidertechnologie biedt de oplossing van TUSK IC schaalbare en betaalbare connectiviteit voor de volgende generatie LEO- en MEO-satellietconstellaties (Low & Medium Earth Orbit): een doorbraak in het veeleisende en snelgroeiende segment. Eerder dit jaar kondigde TUSK IC al een nieuw contract aan met het European Space
- Antwerps Tusk IC haalt 15 miljoen euro op voor sprong naar massaproductie satellietchipsDe Antwerpse chipontwikkelaar Tusk IC haalt 15 miljoen euro vers kapitaal op. De spin-off van het Leuvense MICAS-lab wil zijn chips voor satellietantennes klaarstomen voor massaproductie.

- We are at ESA Industry Space Days 2026 today and tomorrow. DM Kathleen Philips or Paul Muller for an in-person discussion on how our mainstream CMOS beamformers revolutionize your next-gen flat panel user terminals.
- If you work in space, ESA Industry Space Days at ESTEC is where you should be next week. We will be there with a specific question: what is your beamformer costing you per element? Every flat panel terminal roadmap eventually faces the same challenge, and it is not the antenna. It is the beamformer silicon underneath it. We build Ka-band front-end ICs and tiles in mainstream CMOS, at significantly lower energy consumption than comparable solutions. In July, European Space Agency - ESA awarded us an ARTES Industrial Competitiveness
