Expanding its European operations, Neuraspace is opening a new office in Luxembourg, bringing together commercial operations, engineering teams, and production. The aim is to facilitate further partnerships and collaborations with local space industry players, the Luxembourg Space Agency and Luxembourg’s national innovation agency “Luxinnovation”.
In addition to some operational and commercial roles, Neuraspace plans to hire engineering staff, especially with a focus on artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML).
Responsible for the development of the office are Neuraspace’s two directors, managing director and CEO, Chiara Manfletti, and commercial director, Thomas Eggenweiler. It’s an addition to Neuraspace’s existing Portuguese offices in Coimbra and Lisbon and its German office in Munich.
Neuraspace is transforming space domain awareness with its space traffic management (STM) platform, safeguarding the 400 satellites of its customers, and use of existing technologies such as AI and machine learning. The company is also developing new algorithms, growing its tracking and monitoring capabilities, and as a result creating new services for commercial space actors, the defence and public sector alike. The greater aim is to develop more autonomous software procedures based on AI and ML to reduce cost, manual hours spent and help with the decision-making process.
The first step of this new collaboration with the Luxembourg Space Agency and Luxinnovation is the joint attendance of the Space Symposium in Colorado Springs, USA (9-11 April 2025), with defence meetings on the agenda.
In view of Luxembourg’s first participation with a national Pavilion at the Space Symposium in Colorado Springs, Luxinnovation, with the support of the Luxembourg Directorate of Defence, and in cooperation with the Directorate for Foreign Trade and Investment Promotion and the Chamber of Commerce, is setting up a dedicated 'defence programme' for the visiting Luxembourg Industry Delegation to meet with US Defence and NATO partners.
