Space Investing for Europe
The goal of Space Ventures Investors Ltd (SVI) is to be a European leader for space investing, attracting capital from primarily Europe plus USA, Canada and Australia, and investing mainly in European space companies, and globally, where opportunities arise.
As of July 2025 the management of SVI have created a complimentary company called European Space Ventures AG in Germany.
Two Choices: Comparing Space Ventures Investors Ltd and European Space Ventures AG
Space Ventures Investors Ltd was registered in 2014 in England, and in that time European politics and regulation have shifted; first BREXIT, then new EU regulations which impact investing and financial services.
The management of SVI could foresee that space investing in Europe was weighed down by regulation, and the best path was to create a company based in Germany to address space investors in the European Union. European Space Ventures AG was formed for that purpose, and is the equivalent of a UK PLC.
Space Ventures Investors Ltd Overview
SVI was formed in 2014 and has grown organically, accrued expertise in the space investing sector, and is now scaling up to fund and profit from disruptive space technology opportunities.
To date, from capital raised, SVI has invested in multiple early-stage companies (Earth Observation, InsurTech, Maritime Surveillance, and Launch), plus spin-outs / joint ventures that are zeroing in on the next game-changer: Space Resources, or more succinctly and within our generational timeframe, Lunar Exploration and Extraction of Resources.
SVI aims to invest, when appropriate, in selected space stocks and space funds that fulfil a function and adhere to an overall Strategic Space Value Chain philosophy.
SVI Strategy Going Forward
SVI’s strategy from 2025 onwards includes the following:
- Investing in innovative European space start-ups and companies, by leveraging its experience and investments to capitalise on the expanding space economy.
- Exploring Space Resources and Lunar Mining, and further developing joint ventures such as Lunar Resources Registry UG (previous part of a European Space Agency Business Incubation Centre, and now part of Thales Alenia Space – Space Business Catalyst (an accelerator)) and European Light Lunar Lander.
- Developing companies and products related to on-orbit servicing and space commodities, further improving a previous concept the Space Commodities Exchange.
European Space Ventures AG Overview
European Space Ventures AG (ESV)has been designed to become a leading European space investment company, to have access to German and European capital, and to being a publicly tradable company in Europe,
ESV is focusing on investing in new European space enterprises that have found their niche and identified how their business model can best realise its potential. This strategy is best described as Space Fortress Europe: Finding opportunities in the new geopolitical and technical landscape.
