Dedicated to creating semiconductors for satellite electronic subsystems, SPHERICAL was founded in 2022 with the objective of delivering better, faster, and more effective systems. The European Space Agency BIC Noordwijk served as the company's incubator.

SPHERICAL says, “Space systems are being held back by a 50-year-old electronic design paradigm. At SPHERICAL, we do things differently – design the system at the semiconductor level, We deliver systems that are smaller, more reliable and highly software configurable. Enabling our customers to keep pushing the limits of space technology.”

Thomas Parry, CEO and founder of Spherical Systems said, “The financing announced today allows us to fully fund the initial journey of our product development and team growth. This allows us to demonstrate Spherical’s technical and commercial relevance on the world stagem, We are grateful for the support of UNIIQ and other investors as we build our pioneering approach in the industry. We look forward to building on the strengths of the South Holland region to expand strategic opportunities within the space and semiconductor industries over the next decade.”

Jasper Geselschap, fund manager of UNIIQ adds, “The in-depth skills of founders Thomas Parry and Bastiaan Bom in combination with the strong mutual synergy create a rock-solid team to take SPHERICAL to the next phase.”
