ASTRI POLSKA SPOLKA Z OGRANICZONA ODPOWIEDZIALNOSCIA

Their core work

Astri Polska is a Warsaw-based private company specializing in space technology applications and security-related crisis management. They work on satellite communication systems (including laser uplink/downlink with space objects), GNSS technology transfer, and large-scale disaster preparedness — particularly for radiological and nuclear emergencies. Their portfolio bridges space infrastructure with civil protection, making them a dual-use technology integrator serving both the European space sector and emergency response communities.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Astri Polska began with a dual focus on space technology — satellite communications (C3PO) and GNSS technology transfer (E-KnoT) — alongside early involvement in EU external crisis management (Reaching out). From 2019 onward, they shifted decisively toward security and emergency response, with the INCLUDING project focusing specifically on radiological and nuclear emergencies, training, and cross-border federation of response capabilities. This represents a clear pivot from space-tech generalist toward specialized CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear) emergency preparedness.

Astri Polska is moving from space technology applications toward security-focused CBRN emergency preparedness, suggesting future collaborations will likely center on civil protection and crisis management rather than pure space projects.

How they like to work

Astri Polska operates exclusively as a participant, never coordinating — they join consortia rather than leading them. With 51 unique partners across 17 countries from just 4 projects, they consistently work in large, multi-national consortia (averaging ~13 partners per project). This profile suggests a reliable delivery partner that integrates well into large teams but does not drive project design or consortium assembly.

Despite only 4 projects, Astri Polska has built a broad network of 51 partners across 17 countries, reflecting their participation in large EU-wide consortia. Their reach spans much of Europe with no apparent geographic concentration beyond their Polish base.

What sets them apart

Astri Polska sits at an uncommon intersection of space technology and civil security — few Polish companies bridge satellite communications with disaster preparedness. Their experience in both GNSS technology transfer and radiological emergency response makes them a useful partner for projects that need space-derived capabilities applied to security scenarios. For consortium builders, they offer a Polish partner with proven ability to contribute across space and security pillars simultaneously.

Highlights from their portfolio

• Reaching out
  Their largest project by far (EUR 771k of EUR 1M total funding), focused on demonstrating EU crisis management capabilities outside EU borders — a politically significant topic.
• INCLUDING
  Their most recent project (2019-2024), marking a strategic pivot into radiological and nuclear emergency response with a focus on training and cross-border federation.
• C3PO
  Advanced concept study on laser communication with space objects — technically distinctive and their only pure space technology project.
