Creotech signs contract with ESA for large space detector prototype

Creotech Instruments has entered into an agreement with the European Space Agency (ESA) to develop and manufacture prototypes of large-surface detectors using superconducting nanowire technology. The project's total value is approximately €1 million, with Creotech contributing around €400,000. The detectors will serve two purposes: supporting quantum key distribution (QKD) networks for receiving keys from satellites and facilitating optical communication.

Successful completion of the project will enable Creotech to enter the emerging markets of quantum key distribution and optical communication. The project is expected to conclude in September 2025.

Creotech Instruments is a leading Polish company providing space technology and specialized electronics worldwide, including quantum technology. It moved from the NewConnect market to the main Warsaw Stock Exchange (GPW) in July 2022.
