Addel Haddoud (S 1999), creator of Infinite Orbits

Adel Haddoud (S1999, INSEAD 2007) founded Infinite Orbits at the end of 2017, after a career as an entrepreneur and manager, including a stint in Silicon Valley.

Infinite Orbits has developed an innovative space rendezvous solution based on in-orbit image recognition. It successfully tested this solution in 2023 with its OrbitGuard1 nanosatellite, the world's first geostationary nanosatellite. Since then, Infinite Orbits has been working on new in-orbit services such as satellite inspection and life extension, particularly for geostationary telecommunications satellites.

Infinite Orbits is headquartered in Toulouse and currently employs 42 people. The performance of the solution and the quality of the team attracted private and public investors (Newfund, IRDI Capital Investissement, SpaceFounders, EISMEA), who contributed to an initial fundraising of €12 million in early 2024.

Congratulations to Adel and his team!
