TD Shepherd congratulates the Qualinx team and Tom Trill, CEO of Qualinx for their outstanding achievement in securing the EUSPA OSNMA grant. The grant focuses on the security (anti-spoofing) for commercial users of the Galileo GNSS satellite constellation. Qualinx’s GNSS and related digital radio frequency technology will form an important component of the OSNMA reference implementation covered by the project.
The partnership with EUSPA – EU Agency for the Space Programme, facilitated through the European Commission’s CASSINI initiative, reinforces Qualinx’s position at the forefront of deep-tech startups in the space domain.
This achievement solidifies Qualinx’s position as a pioneer in next-generation ultra low-power GNSS technology. TD Shepherd congratulates Qualinx on this great occasion and looks forward to witnessing the continued impact of their innovative solutions on the future of satellite navigation and related markets.
Well done, Qualinx!

If there’s one thing we’ve learned about surviving the Valley of Death in deep tech, it’s this: don’t go it alone. This stage is all about leveraging relationships, and corporate partnerships can be your most valuable lifeline. The key is to think beyond customers.
The so-called “Valley of Death” in deep tech isn’t just about running out of cash—it’s about navigating a period where expectations clash with reality. Investors want to see traction, but your tech isn’t market-ready. Customers are intrigued, but they’re not ready to commit. And your R&D costs? They’re still burning through cash like it’s a bonfire.
