German SpaceTech startup NeuralSat secures €2.9 million in pre-Seed funding to develop a satellite network enabling high-speed inter-satellite data transmission and distributed computing. The network aims to support applications in Earth observation, emergency response and security, with a first demonstration node planned for October 2027\. EU-Startups reports. **(EU-STARTUPS)**

[Germany’s NeuralSat raises €2.9 million to build a high-speed data network in spaceWürzburg-based SpaceTech startup NeuralSat has secured €2.9 million in pre-Seed funding to develop a satellite network designed to improve data transmission and computing capabilities in orbit. The funding round was led by Capnamic Ventures and Bayern Kapital, with participation from ZOHO.VC, Robin Capital, BAB – Die Förderbank für Bremen und Bremerhaven, KIEMIS Holding and Mission E Capital. “Space technology is fascinating, but when you look beneath the surface, you realise how many systems have remained unchanged for years. Established rules continue to shape how we operate in orbit, even when those rules no longer serve us. “Today, most satellites are launched without onboard networking capabilities. We send hardware worth millions into space without giving it the ability to communicate with other satellites. Resources are rarely shared across spacecraft or seamlessly connected with ground systems,” CEO Mohd Bilal said in a public statement. NeuralSat’s funding comes amid a series of European investments in satellite communications and data infrastructure in 2026\. London-based The Compression Company raised €2.8 million to develop onboard satellite data compression, while France’s UNIVITY secured €27 million for space-based 5G connectivity and Switzerland’s SWISSto12 closed a €61 million Series C for satellite and communications infrastructure. In Germany, Bremen-based Marble Imaging raised an additional €6 million for its Earth-observation constellation, while AIRMO secured €5 million for satellite-based emissions monitoring. Together with UK-based NewOrbit, which raised €16 million, these financings total approximately €117.8 million, rising to €120.7 million including NeuralSat’s round.

Our goal is to enable the near-real-time delivery of space-based insights for emergency response, security, and other time-critical missions, because when every second matters, delays have real consequences,” added Mohd. Founded in 2026 in Würzburg, Germany, NeuralSat was established by Mohd Bilal, Manohar Karnal and Rishi Jaiswal. Bilal serves as CEO, bringing expertise in embedded software, while Jaiswal leads technology development as CTO, with a background in mechatronics. Karnal serves as COO, contributing expertise in thermal engineering. NeuralSat is developing an integrated orbital infrastructure that combines high-speed data relay with distributed computing. Its approach addresses an increasingly significant challenge for the space industry: while satellites are collecting growing amounts of information, transmitting and processing that data efficiently remains difficult. According to the European Space Agency (ESA), approximately 100,000 satellites could be in orbit by 2030\. This expansion is expected to place additional pressure on existing communications infrastructure, including ground station availability, transmission capacity and onboard processing resources. NeuralSat aims to address these limitations by allowing satellite operators to access shared infrastructure rather than equipping each spacecraft with extensive communications and computing hardware. Through its proposed network, satellites would be able to transfer data to NeuralSat nodes, where information could be processed, prioritised and transmitted to available ground stations. The network is being designed to support data transmission speeds of up to 50 gigabits per second, using optical and high-frequency radio communication links. Alongside these capabilities, distributed computing resources would enable operators to process information directly in orbit, potentially reducing the amount of raw data that needs to be transmitted to Earth. Unlike companies developing orbital data centres as alternatives to terrestrial computing facilities, NeuralSat is concentrating on improving how existing satellite systems communicate, process and distribute information. Its proposed infrastructure would allow operators to dedicate more of their satellites’ available space and power to their primary missions, while relying on external resources for additional processing and communication requirements. The technology could support applications across Earth observation, emergency response, communications, intelligence gathering and defence. For organisations working with time-sensitive satellite data, processing information closer to where it is collected could help shorten the interval between capturing observations and delivering usable insights. With the newly secured investment, NeuralSat plans to support the development of their 72-satellite constellation. Its first demonstration node, scheduled to reach orbit in October 2027, will serve as an opportunity to test the core elements of the proposed system and enable initial connections with satellite operators. Following the demonstration, NeuralSat expects to begin deploying the first operational satellites in 2028, gradually establishing the infrastructure required for its broader constellation.
