Pacman Space Games

Is the US Deal Flow to Cross the Ocean ?

Due to the global health context, this year’s SIRIUS Space Talks will be held online, in the form of a 2-hour webinar open to all. This year’s theme is that of the company deal flow, which is emerging in many sectors, particularly in the space industry.

Free Webinar – Thursday December 3, 2020 – 4:35 to 6:30 pm CET.

2020, a year of transactions in the space industry

The beginning of 2020 was marked by some significant transactions, mainly in the United States:

• AE Industrial Parners took control of Adcole Maryland Aerospace and Deep Space System.
• Redwire acquired Made in Space.
• Amergint Technologies Holdings purchased Raytheon Technologies.
• Amergint became the main shareholder of Tethers Unlimited.
• Voyager Space Holding acquired Pioneer Astronautics.

Could this wave of transactions cross the Atlantic Ocean? Will it reinforce the trend that has been observed in Europe in recent months towards a significant increase of private investors in the financing of European start-up companies? Should we expect, in the next coming months, a multiplication of transactions in the European space sector?
