Founded in 2014 as a spin‑off from Aalto University, ICEYE led by CEO Rafal Modrzewski designs, builds, launches and operates constellations of radar‑imaging satellites, providing persistent Earth‑observation monitoring capabilities that can detect changes anywhere on the planet, regardless of weather or lighting conditions.

ICEYE operates globally, with offices in Finland, Poland, Spain, the UK, Australia, Japan, the UAE, Greece, and the United States.

“Europe’s security starts with sovereign space capability,” zu Fürstenberg said. “Iceye enables that, with the world’s largest SAR constellation, software-defined satellites, and fully sovereign missions that put independent visibility back in Europe’s hands. Ministries and intelligence agencies can secure borders via on-demand imagery, while nations seeking full control can deploy their own turnkey satellite missions.”
