Events & News

We’re proud to announce a major achievement for ThinkQuantum, Officina Stellare’s subsidiary, which signs a new contract with Thales Alenia Space for the ESA SAGA program.

The €4.8M agreement will enable the development of advanced transmission and reception systems for satellite quantum communications, strengthening Europe’s secure connectivity infrastructure.
ThinkQuantum will lead the quantum cryptography technology for both ground and space segments, marking a significant step in its international positioning.

“Following the successful deployment of ThinkQuantum’s commercial systems for terrestrial networks across Europe, the agreement within ESA’s SAGA project strengthens the company’s position as a leading technology provider in quantum communications for space applications”, says Simone Capeleto, CEO and Co-Founder of ThinkQuantum. “Our unique expertise across both domains, combined with synergies with the Officina Stellare Group, enables us to deliver increasingly integrated solutions bridging ground and space.”

This milestone reinforces Officina Stellare’s Group commitment to innovation and sovereignty in the New Space Economy.
