NATO Backs SatVu, GMV Amid Growing European MilSpace Focus

As Europe ramps up its investment in military space capabilities, British thermal imagery startup SatVu and Spanish tech firm GMV are among the latest companies to benefit. SatVu has secured £30 million in funding from the NATO Innovation Fund and other investors, while GMV has partnered with Spain’s Defence Ministry to provide a satellite tracking antenna. The investments reflect a broader trend of European defence startups securing significant venture capital, with a record $8.7 billion raised in 2025, according to a study cosponsored by the NATO Investment Fund.
