About NanoXplore
NanoXplore is a French fabless chip company, meaning it designs chips and leaves manufacturing to foundries. It makes radiation-hardened FPGAs, chips whose logic can be reprogrammed after manufacture and which are built to survive the radiation found in space. Its NG-ULTRA device combines programmable logic with an Arm Cortex-R52 processor and is made by STMicroelectronics. In January 2026 it was reported as the first product qualified to the European ESCC 9030 standard. NanoXplore was founded in 2010 and is headquartered in Sèvres, France. In December 2025 MBDA and Bpifrance joined a 20 million euro funding round.
NanoXplore was founded in 2010 and is based in Sevres, France. It is listed under FPGAs. Reported funding is €20M (Dec 2025, MBDA and Bpifrance Defense Innovation Fund).

What NanoXplore works on
FPGAs
An FPGA, or field-programmable gate array, is a chip whose internal wiring can be changed after it is made. It contains a grid of small logic blocks, memory blocks and programmable connections. Loading a new configuration file, called a bitstream, turns it into a different digital circuit.
