Kreios Space
Kreios Space is a Spanish aerospace startup developing satellites for Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO, ~150-300km) using a proprietary Air-Breathing Electric Propulsion (ABEP) system that ionizes atmospheric particles for fuel-free, long-duration missions. Based in Vigo/Nigrán, Galicia, the company raised a €2.3M pre-seed in 2024 and an €8M seed round in 2025 led by the NATO Innovation Fund and JOIN Capital, reportedly the largest European round in VLEO technology to date; its six founders were recognized on the Forbes Under 30 list.
