Aistech Space has raised €8.5 million as part of its Series B funding round, with Global Portfolio Investment (GPI) contributing €8 million and Pelliga Family Office investing €0.5 million. These investments are part of a €30 million round that the company plans to complete throughout the year.
The goal of this Series B round is to support Aistech’s 2025–2028 strategic plan, which includes the deployment of its Hydra satellite constellation, focused on detecting temperature changes on Earth by generating high-resolution thermal imagery, as well as developing a new generation of its proprietary space telescope that will enable monitoring of the impact of human activity on the planet. The company, which already has three satellites in orbit, has scheduled the launch of six additional satellites between October 2025 and the end of 2026. The investment will also help the company scale its business model and accelerate its global expansion.
Carles Franquesa, co-founder and co-CEO of Aistech, stated: “We are very pleased with the involvement of strategic investors such as Global Portfolio Investment and Pelliga Family Office. Their support strengthens our vision and commitment to developing technological solutions that address major global challenges.”
Guillermo Valenzuela, also co-founder and co-CEO, added: “This new round of investment will allow us to continue building a globally oriented company capable of having a positive impact both environmentally and economically, as well as technologically.”
With this latest investment, Global Portfolio Investment consolidates its position as Aistech’s second-largest shareholder, reinforcing its commitment from the previous Series A round, in which it had already invested €4.5 million.
Since its founding, Aistech has raised over €25 million in funding. The company stands out for its innovative use of satellite technology, enabling the monitoring and tracking of surface temperature changes through high-resolution thermal imagery. This allows Aistech to support efforts to monitor climate change, improve water management and food security, prevent wildfires, and enhance the surveillance of critical infrastructure and strategic zones.
The deployment of this in-house-developed technology through its proprietary satellite constellation will also contribute to national economic growth by creating high-skilled jobs and fostering the development of a geospatial intelligence tech ecosystem. Currently employing 33 people, Aistech plans to grow its team to 45 employees by the end of the year.
