Huge congratulations to the entire Gilmour Space Technologies team on securing $217M in Series E funding and becoming Australia's first space unicorn!

This landmark achievement is a massive boost for Australian innovation and advanced manufacturing. Seeing fellow deep-tech leaders like Gilmour accelerate toward global impact truly inspires the whole ecosystem. At Halocell Energy, we're proud to contribute to this momentum — especially through our ongoing collaboration to bring Halocell perovskite PV modules to orbit in 2026 with Gilmour. By developing next-generation perovskite solar technology, we're enabling efficient power in diverse conditions, from ambient/low-light applications to the harsh environment of space. Here's to more Australian-led successes powering the future!
