Founded in 2013, NanoXplore is a French, family-owned fabless IC design firm specializing in radiation-hardened Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and the accompanying software toolchain. Its products, including the recently launched NG-ULTRA rad-hard SoC FPGA, operate in extreme environments such as satellites, missiles, and other defence systems. By maintaining an entirely European supply chain, the company’s components are ITAR-free and already fly on flagship space programs like Galileo and Copernicus. Management positions NanoXplore as a cornerstone of European electronic sovereignty and a domestic alternative to U.S.-controlled suppliers. The firm plans to leverage its technology base to move deeper into defence markets, developing ultra-secure and low-power FPGAs tailored for land, air, and naval platforms. Newly raised capital will also fund strategic acquisitions that broaden its product portfolio and consolidate Europe’s microelectronics base. No revenue, profitability, or unit-shipment figures were disclosed in the article.
