Born of a strong ambition to conquer the stars, Exotrail is a “scale-up” that came into being in 2017. Its aim is to develop and market small satellite engines worldwide.

We develop products focusing on impact, frequent delivery, and continuous improvement. Inspired by the digital world, we are customer-focused and entrepreneurial.

We manage risks to cross boundaries and deliver results that otherwise wouldn’t be possible in a traditional space model.
