Argotec is accelerating its growth and aims to list on the stock market within three years, with Nasdaq as its target. The Turin-based space corporation, created and directed by David Avino, ended 2025 with €57 million in revenues, up 60% from the previous year, and plans to reach €100 million in 2026. "Between 2022 and 2025, we recorded an average annual growth rate of 75%", Avino revealed in an interview with Moneta, the supplement published by Il Giornale. The company employs roughly 500 people in Italy, Germany, and the United States, and its production facility in Turin can produce one satellite per week. Defense-related operations provide 30% of revenue. On the stock market front, the benchmark is the American market: "In the United States, space company valuations are more mature, and over 40% of global stocks in the sector are concentrated on the Nasdaq", Avino explained. Launch diversification is also a priority for the industry, as it seeks to lessen reliance on SpaceX, which now executes 93% of global launches, according to Argotec's founder. The corporation is working on alternatives such as the Italian Vega C launcher while also increasing its footprint in space security, including a deal with Germany's Rheinmetall to create a satellite. "We don't see Defense as a simple obligation, but as a necessary response in a profoundly changed world", Avino stated.
