Connektica raises €3 million to accelerate the deployment of its manufacturing execution platform and expand to new territories

Jérémy Perrin, CEO of Connektica

Connektica, a Franco-Canadian startup, has announced a €3 million funding round. With growing traction in the Space industry for its manufacturing digitalization and automation solution, Connektica now aims to accelerate its commercial expansion and extend its services to other industries, starting with aerospace and defense.

An all-in-one solution to scale production while maintaining high quality standards and full traceability

The transition to standardized products manufactured at scale represents a challenge for the space industry, and particularly small and medium-sized enterprises. Defense and aerospace companies are now facing similar issues with the rearmament of Europe and Canada, focused on drones, missiles, and satellite data, which requires a rapid increase in production capacities across the entire ecosystem. To seize this opportunity, manufacturers need scalable and flexible solutions to standardize and industrialize their processes.

By automating the entire manufacturing process, Connektica guarantees end-to-end traceability without burdensome processes. From manufacturing execution system (MES), testing automation, to data management, Connektica offers an all-in-one solution for manufacturers to scale production while complying with strict industry standards.

“Our solution is based on a fully integrated manufacturing management system. Our clients can digitize and automate complex processes, such as sequential testing, and control all their production lines from one location. With Connektica, they can also monitor their suppliers in real time, eliminating a significant bottleneck to rapidly scale production across multiple sites, with end to-end traceability and monitoring at every stage.” says Jérémy Perrin, CEO of Connektica.

This solution has already convinced numerous companies in France, Canada, and the Netherlands, including Toulouse-based Anywaves and U-Space.

A funding round to fuel growth

With a proven technology, Connektica is ready to accelerate its commercial expansion with a goal of serving 100 SME customers and achieving €3 million in recurring revenue by 2028. Jérémy Perrin adds : “We’ve seen companies develop a competitive advantage by internalizing their supply chain. But SMEs and integrators cannot replicate this model internally, particularly in Europe and Canada. Our platform facilitates the verticalization of their supply chain to give them more autonomy, responsiveness, and cost control. This model, adopted by the space industry, can be applied to other industries that need to scale production, industrialize assembly and testing, and maintain full traceability and compliance to industry requirements.”

With the €3 million in funding raised, Connektica will validate this approach by expanding to new industries, starting with aerospace and defense. To support this strategy, the product team will develop industry-specific capabilities.

Furthermore , to help their customers comply with the strict regulations and requirements of space, aerospace and defense industries, Connektica will invest in bolstering its cybersecurity and obtaining ISO 27001 certification in the coming months.

Whether from a commercial, strategic, or HR perspective, the €3 million raised by Connektica will enable significant growth for the company. To meet the growing need for standardization, digitalization, and automation in the large-scale production of critical equipment, the Franco Canadian start-up is preparing, over the next three years, to double its workforce and expand its expertise into new strategic areas.
