Venturi Space will invest €250 million in a new 16,000-square-metre technology and manufacturing hub in Toulouse focused on lunar and Martian mobility systems. The facility is expected to create nearly 200 jobs by 2030 and become the company’s primary European centre for rover development, production, integration and assembly.
The announcement was made on June 1 during the 2026 Choose France summit. The site will concentrate on critical technologies including lunar rover wheels, high-performance batteries, energy management and vehicle integration.
Venturi Space, a Monaco-based space technology company, has said the Toulouse project is intended to support future Moon and Mars missions and strengthen the city’s role in Europe’s aerospace and deep-tech ecosystem. Construction and development are expected to progress over the coming years.
