Skylabs, D.o.o.

What Skylabs, D.o.o. does

SkyLabs d.o.o. is a Slovenian private limited liability company (d.o.o. form) founded in 2013 that develops miniaturized satellite avionics, onboard AI computing solutions, and ground support equipment targeted at the nano and small satellite segment. The company operates as a B2B space technology provider serving government space agencies and national space programs, with its core technology positioned around satellite constellation subsystems and onboard computing for resource-constrained spacecraft platforms. The company is headquartered in Ljubljana, Slovenia, and operates with a lean team of 11–50 employees.

The company's go-to-market is enterprise field sales directed at government space agency stakeholders, formalized through strategic Memoranda of Understanding rather than open commercial channels. Its sole named anchor customer is the Algerian Space Agency (ASAL), which selected SkyLabs in February 2025 to deliver key technologies for upcoming satellite constellation missions under a bilateral Algeria–Slovenia cooperation framework facilitated by the Slovenian Space Office. Revenue is generated through one-time license arrangements under government procurement contracts, with contract values determined via government procurement processes and no publicly disclosed pricing. The company's geographic reach currently spans Slovenia and Algeria, with operating markets identified across EMEA and Africa.

Direct peers

• NanoAvionics: NanoAvionics (acquired by Kongsberg) builds smallsat buses and avionics subsystems for constellation operators including government customers; it competes in the same miniaturized-avionics niche as Skylabs.
• Innovative Solutions In Space (ISIS): ISIS is a Dutch supplier of smallsat platforms, avionics, and ground support equipment, and a direct functional peer in avionics and GSE for nano/small satellites serving government and commercial missions.
• AAC Clyde Space: AAC Clyde Space provides standardized smallsat subsystems including avionics, power and communication modules to commercial and government constellation operators, overlapping closely with Skylabs' avionics-and-onboard-computing stack.
• GomSpace: GomSpace is a Danish supplier of nano-satellite avionics, subsystems, and complete small satellites — directly comparable to Skylabs' core offering in miniaturized satellite avionics and onboard computing for small satellites.
• Tyvak Nano Satellite Systems (Terran Orbital): Tyvak designs and manufactures smallsat platforms and avionics for U.S. government and commercial constellations; comparable in target market (government space agencies) and smallsat avionics focus.

Broad incumbents

• Thales Alenia Space: Thales Alenia Space is a major European prime contractor with space avionics and satellite system capabilities across GEO/MEO/LEO; operates as a broad incumbent in the same satellite technology market as Skylabs.
• SSTL (Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd): SSTL is an established smallsat manufacturer serving national space agencies; broader portfolio but overlapping in smallsat platforms and avionics supplied to government constellation programs.
• Beyond Gravity (formerly RUAG Space): Beyond Gravity is an established European space equipment supplier covering avionics, structures, and launch products; competes with Skylabs in the avionics/spacecraft subsystems category but at much broader scale.

Emerging players

• Spire Global: Spire Global operates a constellation of small satellites with proprietary avionics and onboard processing, making it a partial peer in the smallsat/edge-computing space technology category.
• Open Cosmos: Open Cosmos is an emerging European smallsat mission operator providing end-to-end satellite services and avionics to government and commercial customers; partial overlap with Skylabs in smallsat technology and government customer base.
