In 2018, we backed a student rocketry team from Technische Universität München. That team became Isar Aerospace. Today, they're closing a €270M Series D. 🚀 UVC Partners is participating with €38 million – and for the first time, we've built a dedicated co-investment structure together with KfW Capital to make it happen. Together, we've established a growth-stage SPV that pools European institutional capital exactly where it's needed most. KfW Capital's participation reflects a growing institutional conviction that sovereign access to space is a strategic necessity for Germany and Europe. 🤝 From day one, we believed Daniel Metzler, Josef Fleischmann and the team were building something Europe genuinely needed. Some years later, Isar Aerospace is the only private European company building orbital launch capacity at industrial scale – with Europe's largest integrated launch vehicle factory in Parsdorf, near Munich, designed to produce up to 40 Spectrum rockets per year. Within the past 12 months, defense and government demand has grown significantly as part of their customer base, alongside a continued strong civil and commercial mission. European governments are increasingly recognizing sovereign access to space as a critical strategic asset, not just a scientific ambition. The next milestone: Mission 'Onward and Upward', Isar's qualification flight, opens its launch window on June 15 from Andøya, Norway. 🛰️ Congratulations to Daniel Metzler, Josef Fleischmann, Stella Guillen, and the entire Isar Aerospace team 🙌
