Ovzon and Swedish Space Corporation (SSC) have expanded their collaboration with a new teaming agreement aimed at bolstering sovereign space and satellite capabilities. The strengthened partnership builds on their successful collaboration and targets innovative solutions for Sweden, the Nordics, and NATO allies across various operational domains.

Sovereign space capabilities are critical for ensuring a nation's ability to manage and operate space systems independently, supporting national security, economic competitiveness, and resilience in an evolving geopolitical environment. Ovzon's state-of-the-art Ovzon 3 satellite, combined with SSC's extensive expertise in space services, positions the partnership as a leader in meeting these strategic needs.

"This is a strategic teaming between two very complimentary organizations that will be able to deliver the most advanced and unique solutions in a very challenged world both from a geopolitical, total defense and sustainability perspective," said Charlotta Sund, CEO of SSC.

Per Noren, CEO of Ovzon, emphasized the significance of the partnership in light of Sweden's recent NATO membership, stating, "Our mission is to connect and protect people, societies and organizations for a better, more secure and sustainable world. With Sweden's entry into NATO, Ovzon is proud to stand at the forefront of SATCOM innovation. The partnership with SSC creates a broad and deep portfolio of relevant solutions for immediate implementation. We look forward to a continued partnership, enabling Sweden and its allies to face the challenges of today and tomorrow."
