UK Investment in Eutelsat: Britain is set to invest 163 million euros in satellite operator Eutelsat to maintain its stake and avoid dilution from a larger French capital increase aimed at helping the company compete with SpaceX's Starlink.
Strategic Implications: This investment not only preserves Britain's influence over Eutelsat but may also facilitate its participation in the EU's IRIS² satellite constellation project, enhancing Europe's sovereign capabilities in satellite communications.
