Greenerwave establishes new presence in France, at the heart of aerospace innovation!

Greenerwave has announced the opening of new offices in Toulouse to accelerate its growth. By moving into the European capital of aerospace, the company is embedding itself within a top-tier ecosystem that brings together France’s leading expertise in the sector. This strategic location within a specialized technical environment will give a strong boost to Greenerwave’s ambition: to revolutionize satellite communications through a disruptive technology. Its solution, passive and low in semiconductor consumption, enables the development of a new generation of antennas that are more energy-efficient and have a lower carbon footprint. This move also underscores Greenerwave’s commitment to strengthening European technological sovereignty in a highly strategic domain.

A strategic move

Toulouse stands out as one of Europe’s most dynamic space hubs—an intersection of innovation, research, and industry. Beyond its historical roots in aeronautics, the city is now recognized as a key center for satellites, orbital technologies, and space applications. By choosing to set up operations here, Greenerwave is entering a unique innovation ecosystem that supports the acceleration of its technologies and its bold ambitions.

As satellite communications (Satcom) become increasingly central—whether for connectivity, defense, or the management of critical infrastructure—innovation is proving to be a decisive lever for technological sovereignty. Greenerwave aims to contribute meaningfully by offering passive, energy-efficient solutions that are poised to redefine the standards of satellite communication antennas.

This new location not only enhances the company’s visibility within the ecosystem but also cements its role as a key player in the NewSpace movement. It reinforces Greenerwave’s determination to contribute to European technological sovereignty—through solutions that combine performance, independence, and sustainability.

Geoffroy Lerosey, CEO and co-founder of Greenerwave, explains: “Toulouse is more than an industrial hub—it is a powerhouse of expertise, innovation, and ambition. This move is a vital lever to raise awareness of our sovereign European technology: resource-efficient, globally competitive, and built for resilience. Our mission is clear: to help build a more robust European space sector, anchored in low-impact technologies that reduce critical dependencies.”

A disruptive French technology addressing major industrial challenges

Founded in 2015 by CNRS researcher Geoffroy Lerosey and Professor Mathias Fink (ESPCI Paris), Greenerwave has developed a breakthrough technology based on reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) and proprietary physics-based algorithms. This innovative approach enables real-time steering of signal-carrying waves by shifting complexity from hardware to software.

The result: significantly lower energy consumption, reduced use of semiconductors, and the emergence of a new generation of high-efficiency antennas that are both leaner and more sustainable.

Greenerwave is supported by renowned industrial and institutional partners such as Intelsat and the French Defence Procurement Agency (DGA), who recognize the exceptional potential of its breakthrough technology. These collaborations, built on real synergies, highlight growing interest in high-value, innovative solutions across sectors such as space, defense, and telecommunications.

Toulouse site objectives: test, optimize, integrate

Now employing nearly 120 people—most of whom are based in Paris—Greenerwave is expanding with a new expert team in Toulouse, led by Thibault Maisonnat. The locally recruited team includes talent from Thales Alenia Space, Airbus Defence & Space, and Eutelsat OneWeb.

As the company scales up its industrial capabilities, the new unit strengthens Greenerwave’s operational and technical capacities. It draws on the team’s deep expertise in integrating complex systems—especially in antenna architecture for low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations.

Located near the Cité de l’Espace, the Toulouse team benefits from state-of-the-art infrastructure, including an anechoic chamber, a custom outdoor structure for terminal validation (see images below), and next-generation RF testing equipment. These facilities allow for the integration and validation of Greenerwave’s multi-orbit Satcom terminals.

The company recently welcomed several French and international clients to its new Toulouse facility for a successful demonstration campaign showcasing the capabilities of its LEO/GEO multi-orbit terminal. These demonstrations confirmed strong interest from leading industry players and marked a major step forward in the technology’s adoption.
