Ghent-based spacetech startup Edgx The next generation of EdizX EDJX has closed $ 2.5 million seed funds to accelerate the commercialization of the EDJX sterner for satellite.
Startup has closed a multi-unit deal with a satellite operator of € 1.1 million dollars and already announce a orbital demonstration plan on a SpaceX Falcon 9 mission in February 2026.
The funding round was co-operated by the IMECCTart Future Fund and operated by the Flemish Investment Organization PMV with the participation of the Funders Future Tech Fund.
WouterEDGX’s founder and CTO also says: “A space startup is one hundred to one hundred, all-in ambitious. Taking that mentality into the development of a sterner means new challenges, learning constant, but the real progress. What it works is the team. Each engineer brings new ideas, a drive to understand space and a passion for it to make it real. We’re creating a subsense that gives strength to the next generation of satelliteThe “
Established in 2023, ADGX is a Belgium’s Spascotc Company that focuses on supplying the fastest edge computing service in the world for satellite. EDGX satellite serves special attention to the enable AI and strong data processing in the constellations, and serves SATcom/Telecom, Earth and in-Orbit Servicing Markets to commercial, government and defense departments.
Its flagship product, EDGX Sterona Computer, a high-performer data processing unit (DPU) driven by Nvidia technology. It provides the necessary performance and AI acceleration to run the complex algorithms in direct orbit. This power is alleged that the transmitting the huge raw dataset to the earth is alleged to have eliminated the traditional barrier barrier, enable satellite operators to provide rapid, more efficient and data-driven services.
EDGX’s sterina computer is made by its spacefattle software stack, autonomous, elastic and upgradable satellite operations. It includes a Space-Curry Linux OS with the entire traceability, autonomous health observation, a dedicated supervisory system for radiation fault identification and recovery and an in-blackpath application structure to establish new power after launch.
Rolled boriThe head of Venture Capital and a member of the Executive Committee on PMV says: “The financing of this round will enable our ADGX’s strong team to bring the fermish technology to the market and help to further develop it. EDGX is one of the few European players that provide a product that is high-performed, accessible and powerful, it provides unique benefits for the fastest growing market for the edge of space, not to strengthen the strategic sector such as Europe’s technical location such as the infrastructure.“
The EDGX’s engineering and design combines commercial AI acceleration with the reliability of space-grade, providing a level of onboard computing performances at a level of satellite constellation operators that were previously inadequate.
For spectral observations, the sterner enables the radio signal to detect and classify and create a vibrant spectrum processing, a key ability that satellite operators are used in real time to avoid intervention and allocate bandwidth to provide the best communication service.
In observation of the earth, sterna supports intelligent surveillance and review (ISR) by analyzing high-resolution imagery directly on the ship. This means satellites can immediately detect and flag objects like ships, vehicles or infrastructure, and react to time-sensitive events such as floods, fire or earthquake. According to the organization, the result quickly converts passive observation in real-time situation awareness in real-time situation.
Chris VandenbowkManaging Partner of IMEC.EDGX presents exactly the kind of converter infrastructure we look for. The space industry is hitting a fundamental barrier; We’re making a lot of data in the orbit but still using the old ‘store and forward’ architecture. EDGX AI-driven Age is directly resolved by bringing computing into space, enable satellite to analyze and work in real-time without waiting for ground processingThe “
Sterna also gives 5G and 6G power from the orbit. Base station processing capacity transfer into space, like onboard nodeb, enables satellite to directly participate in the next generation mobile network.
It enhances the path to the unmanned direct-to-divide connection; Providing high-speed internet in remote, underVers or disasters where the traditional infrastructure infrastructure is shortened.
In addition to in-orbit demonstrations in February, two more flights are already scheduled for 2026.
To comment on the news, Nick breaksFounder and Chief Executive Officer says: “Customers are not waiting for the validity of the flight, they are now signing. With our first mission set for a complete launch manifest, protected commercial contract and Falcon 9, this fund enables us to scale to meet the demand for real-time intelligence from our placeThe “
