About this report
KP Labs is a Polish deep-tech space startup spun out of the Silesian University of Technology (Gliwice, Poland) in 2016 . It specializes in smart on-board computing hardware and edge-AI software for satellites. The company’s offerings – including FPGA-based data processing units and AI inference software – are tailored for autonomous space missions.
Its trajectory from a 3‑person academic spin-off to an R&D center of ~85 engineers (per Polish government sources ) has drawn attention in Europe’s space ecosystem. Notably, KP Labs was featured in a Polish space cluster report and has been recognized with EU‐level awards (for example, the ESA Industry Space Days Innovation Award 2024 ).
