DO NOT PUBLISH Swedish deeptech startup bets on palm-sized nodes to connect the unconnectable – luring space and defence firms

In Kista, a northern district of Stockholm, a new generation of deeptech startups is pushing at the boundaries of physics and industrial possibility. In this new Impact Loop series, we meet the innovators defining and building that future.
One of them is Terasi – a university spinout that has developed a technology that delivers lightning-fast connectivity in harsh environments.
But the journey begins in the cleanroom lab in Kista – the flagship facility at the centre of the district’s tech ecosystem.

James Campion reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small device. It looks a little like a pocket-sized Bluetooth speaker and fits easily in the palm of his hand. What Impact Loop is looking at in the courtyard in Kista — just outside the deeptech startup Terasi’s office — is the RU1. It’s the first-generation unit developed by the university spinnout, where Campion is CEO and cofounder.
