CSG becomes largest MDA shareholder with 9.5% stake

CSG acquired a 9.5% equity stake in MDA Space, becoming the Canadian space company’s largest shareholder. The stake is held through a dedicated subsidiary. CSG also created a dedicated space team, naming Ladislav Stahl, a former NATO space advisor, as Head of Space Strategy and Technology and Filip Kocian as Space Director for Corporate Development. The deal follows smaller Tech Horizons VC investments in SatVu in the UK and Atmos Space Cargo in Germany. CSG chairman Michal Strnad called MDA Space "a highly respected, well led, profitable and growing space company" and said CSG wants to be a long-term strategic shareholder. MDA Space CEO Mike Greenley welcomed CSG as a strategic investor. CSG cited a World Economic Forum estimate that the global space economy could reach $1.8 trillion by 2035. CSG’s 2025 revenue was EUR 6.7 billion across more than 14,000 employees; MDA Space has 4,000 employees and a mean BUY rating from 12 analysts. Contested: Outlets differ only in framing, not facts.
