Our company was represented by Grzegorz Brona, President of Creotech Instruments. As part of the mission, a constellation of at least three Polish Earth observation satellites will be developed, along with ground infrastructure and a system to manage the entire space operation.

Creotech Instruments will serve as the main contractor, working in close collaboration with leading companies from the Polish space sector, including CloudFerro S.A., Eycore, GMV Innovating Solutions, KP Labs, and Scanway.
This marks another milestone on the path toward building independent national space capabilities. We are proud to lead this groundbreaking project and extend our sincere thanks to ESA and the Ministry of Development and Technology for their trust.

CAMILA is a project of strategic importance not only for Creotech Instruments but for the entire European space sector. It stands as a testament to our technological maturity and our expertise in executing highly advanced satellite missions. It is also a strong vote of confidence in our business model and in the Polish satellite platform, HyperSat, which we have been developing over the past several years.

“We are truly honored by this recognition,” said Grzegorz Brona, President of Creotech Instruments S.A.

The company also announced it will spin off its quantum technologies division into a separate company by early 2026.
