Bonnier Capital to become largest shareholder in AAC Clyde Space

Bonnier Capital is investing up to 140 MSEK in AAC Clyde Space, through a directed share issue of 100 MSEK and up to 40 MSEK of additional investment in 2026.

AAC Clyde Space provides small satellite technologies and services that help governments, businesses and institutions access high-quality data from space. Covering satellite components, mission services and space-based data delivery, the company offers end-to-end solutions that turn space-based intelligence into real-world impact. Applications include weather monitoring, maritime safety, security and defence, agriculture and forestry.

The investment marks an important step for AAC’s long-term development and strengthens the company’s ability to deliver on its strategy and meet growing demand. With Bonnier Capital entering as the company’s largest shareholder, AAC Clyde Space gains stability and resources to accelerate priority programmes, finance growth and fully fund its commitments to the INFLECION project, a new satellite constellation for maritime data services co-funded by the UK Space Agency through the European Space Agency.

“This investment strengthens our ability to act in a market that is changing quickly and where timing matters. We are pleased to welcome Bonnier Capital as a long-term and highly respected active investor. This is exactly the ownership support we need to accelerate and deliver on our strategy as the company enters the next phase of development,” says Rolf Hallencreutz, chairman of the Board of Directors of AAC Clyde Space.

“Our investment reflects the confidence we have in AAC Clyde Space’s position and the company’s opportunities in a rapidly growing market. The company combines strong technology and capabilities with a clear strategy, and this is the starting point for the investment. As the largest shareholder, we look forward to contributing actively to AAC Clyde Space’s development,” says Carl Backman, CEO of Bonnier Capital.

“With strengthened financing and a committed owner, we can accelerate the delivery of key programmes. This includes adding satellite capacity to meet strong demand for maritime data services and advancing INFLECION, the next generation of space-based maritime intelligence. The investment gives us the stability and scale to build both near-term capability and future services that provide customers with timely, high-quality space-based intelligence,” says Luis Gomes, CEO of AAC Clyde Space.

AAC is headquartered in Uppsala with main operations also in the UK, the Netherlands, South Africa and the USA. The company’s shares are traded on Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market in Stockholm.

Parts of the investment are pending approval at AAC Clyde Space’s extraordinary general meeting and from the Swedish Inspectorate of Strategic Products (ISP).
