"It is an enormous coup for Space Intelligence to have secured investment from high-profile VCs, and to have two such well-respected finance and climate experts join us,"
The Bristol based cloud robotics specialist raised the capital from backers including Legal & General Capital and Equinor Ventures to support its global growth plans.
