Telespazio Belgium and IDELUX : an historical partnership!
Since its creation in the 80s, Telespazio Belgium and IDELUX have worked together continuously. The various projects carried out together have enabled the company to develop into what Telespazio Belgium is today: a leading space company, anchored in the province of Luxembourg, employing over 225 people and achieving ever-increasing growth.
A decade of great projects

In 2017, IDELUX won the contract to build the “Galileo Integrated Logistic Support Centre” on the same site, enabling Telespazio Belgium to carry out one of its main activities there: the maintenance, updating and installation of the ground segment - including the antennas used to monitor and check signal quality - of the European “Galileo” satellite constellation, which today provides the world's most advanced positioning and navigation data.
Thanks to these exceptional opportunities, and its strong positioning with ESA in the Netherlands and Redu, and with EUSPA (the European Union Space Programs Agency) in Prague and France, Telespazio Belgium has continued to grow, both in terms of revenues and workforce.
Wallonia US Gate : an innovative business center in the heart of Bastogne
Faced with Telespazio Belgium's expansion and the need for more space, IDELUX offered the company temporary occupancy at the Wallonia US Gate, enabling Telespazio to continue its activities in the region while awaiting the construction of a new building on the Galaxia business park in Transinne.
In October, Telespazio Belgium moved into this business center, recently renovated thanks to Walloon and European funding. Located in a historic building in the former Sous-Lieutenant Heintz barracks, in the heart of Bastogne, the premises have been transformed into a modern, functional business space, designed and managed by IDELUX.
Its strategic location, close to major roads (N4, E25, E411) and linked to Bastogne's main points of interest by a network of green-moving roads, makes it an ideal environment for the development of professional projects.
Heart in the past, head turned to the future!
This move comes at a highly symbolic time. If Bastogne's heart is set on the heroes of the past, who fought for our freedom, it is also home to a company that is resolutely focused on the future, putting space technology at the service of every citizen in his or her daily life, with a profoundly international spirit.
Bastogne, a city of trade and exchange for centuries, is the ideal location for Telespazio Belgium, which sees this new territorial positioning as a further opportunity to carry out its service activities. And that's without forgetting the links that Telespazio Belgium will be able to forge with local merchants and industries as part of its day-to-day activities.
Making Space Possible
Satellite data technologies are numerous and present at all levels of the population. Companies like Telespazio Belgium are constantly involved in the evolution of these innovative technologies, which provide important services that have become essential in today's society.
In terms of employment, the arrival of Telespazio Belgium is also having a positive impact on the locality. In constant evolution, the company recruits all types of profiles throughout the year. Whether in engineering, administration, finance or human resources management, there's room for anyone wishing to continue or begin their career in the incredible world of Space.
