Simera Sense expands into the United Kingdom with establishment of a local office

Simera Sense , headquartered in Belgium, announced the formal incorporation of its subsidiary in the United Kingdom, based in Glasgow. This additional expansion quickly follows on the €13.5 million funding secured in an investment round earlier this year and the recent opening of an office in Toulouse, France. Both of these sites are ideally placed to offer support to the company’s primary production facilities in Cape Town, South Africa.

Since 2018, the company is in a rapid growth phase and already has 20 optical payloads in space, more than 40 payloads delivered and ready for launch, and approximately 70 payloads to be produced in the next 12 months.

This UK office is intended to support Simera Sense’s expanding customer base in the region, allowing for better accessibility to this market, including the strategic strengthening of key partnerships and collaborations within the impressive UK space ecosystem.

Leveraging successful programmes and incentives, Simera Sense also intends to inwardly invest and actively capacitate additional resources in order to scale its operations. An image processing and ESA EDAP+ certified imagery calibration product range as a complementary, turn-key offering is soon to come online.
