The EDGE SpAIce Team
Agenium Space
AGENIUM Space is a space startup in the heart of Europe’s space industry – Toulouse, France.
It was founded in 2018 by gathering satellite image processing and AI experts to develop edge-AI processing competency (AI processing on satellite).
Fast forward to 2024, AGENIUM Space has flown in space on 3 satellites, with the last one having a continuous service of cloud, and ship detection onboard.
Major added values from edge-AI onboard satellites are lower volume downloads and lower data latency.
E.g. no need to download cloudy parts of Earth images, and speedy targeted object reporting to ground like a surfaced submarine within seconds after image capture.
AGENIUM Space owns full end to end AI deployment capability, from training DNNs to optimising and deploying on satellites.

CERN
CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is the world’s leading laboratory for particle physics.
It provides a unique range of particle-accelerator facilities enabling research at the forefront of human knowledge.
Its business is fundamental physics, finding out what the Universe is made of and how it works.
Founded in 1954, CERN has 23 Member States, with other nations from around the globe contributing to and participating in its research programmes.
The Laboratory has become a prime example of international collaboration, uniting people from all over the world in the quest to push the frontiers of science and technology for the benefit of all.

EnduroSat
EnduroSat is one of the fastest-growing space companies in Europe, providing solutions to the global space market. The core product of EnduroSat is the design, engineering and production of high-end and high-performing satellites and related engineering services. What distinguishes EnduroSat from the rest of the market competition is the in-house capability to develop entire satellites and services based on its own technology.
EnduroSat customers include businesses, exploration, and science organisations, among which commercial space companies focused on IoT, remote sensing, meteorology, and Earth observation, as well as multiple missions for space agencies, universities, and institutes.
EnduroSat currently has more than 2500 modules in orbit operating both in LEO and deep space missions and has delivered more than 50 satellites to date.
The company’s mission is to promote universal access to space and empower people to connect and progress through space technology. To achieve this, EnduroSat offers a complete range of flight-proven satellites that are software-defined and in-flight configurable.
The unique features of EnduroSat’s platforms include:
- Plug & play on hardware and software level
- In-orbit configurability and update capability
- Multiple hardware and software redundancies
- Universal payload integration process
