“At the end of the fourth quarter, we were pleased to sign an amendment to the contract with Aerial & Maritime Ltd. for additional four satellites. Thereby a constellation of 8 nano-satellites is to be launched with a future prospect of a global constellation with 80 to 100 satellites. We consider this to be a major achievement as it proves that our spin-out strategy is a great success.

The growth in revenue exceeds our plans, it was 74% during the fourth quarter and 78% in the year 2017”, CEO Niels Buus commented.
