Berlin/Ludwigsburg, 25 March 2026 - Patron Capital and INBRIGHT have leased approximately 1,200 square meters at the Ludwigsburg Industrial Center (LIZ) to InSpace Propulsion Technologies GmbH (ISPTech). The company, which develops cost-efficient, robust, and rapidly deployable propulsion systems for satellites and spacecraft, is significantly expanding its presence at the site. The leased space is located within the fully modernized existing buildings at LIZ, where additional units are still available. At the same time, construction of new buildings at LIZ is set to begin in April.
ISPTech has been a tenant at LIZ since 2025. Following its initial move into smaller premises, the company is now scaling up within the campus. The new space provides additional capacity for research, testing, and further development of its technologies. This expansion supports the company’s growth after recently securing €5.5 million in seed funding led by Join Capital.
“ISPTech’s expansion at LIZ is a strong signal for the location,” says Dr. Till Meister, Senior Project Manager and Authorized Signatory as well as Project Lead LIZ at INBRIGHT. “The company represents a high-growth key technology that is critical to Germany’s industrial future. This is exactly what we are building LIZ for: a platform for industrial innovation and growth.”
LIZ as a Launchpad
Currently, more than 35 employees of ISPTech are working at LIZ. With the expansion, the company plans to hire additional specialists, particularly in technical and operational roles, including positions based in Ludwigsburg.
“The new space at LIZ enables us to significantly expand our development and testing capacities and accelerate the readiness of our technologies,” says Lukas Werling, Co-Founder and CEO of ISPTech. “Having access to move-in-ready space at short notice, while new construction is already underway on site, provides us with strong planning security for our next growth steps.”
One of the Largest Industrial Transformation Projects in Southern Germany
The Ludwigsburg Industrial Center (LIZ) is one of the largest privately financed industrial and transformation projects in southern Germany. Upon completion, approximately 100,000 square meters of ESG-compliant rental space will be created on a site spanning around 51,000 square meters. LIZ is currently the largest project of its kind in Baden-Württemberg.
The modernization of the existing buildings suitable for preservation has been underway since 2023 and is already largely complete. Construction of the new buildings is scheduled to begin in April 2026 and will add further state-of-the-art industrial space to the campus.
In addition to existing tenants such as ISPTech, MANN+HUMMEL, and PremiumWineTech GmbH—a technology provider for the professional storage and temperature control of fine wines—Patron Capital and INBRIGHT are currently in discussions with several additional prospective tenants. Planned uses range from industrial and logistics operations to research and development, as well as high-tech sectors such as AI, aerospace, medical technology, and mechanical engineering.
LIZZY – New Space for Start-ups and Scale-ups
In parallel, LIZZY, a dedicated area tailored to start-ups and scale-ups, will be launched at LIZ starting in March 2026. Flexible units ranging from 300 to 3,500 square meters will provide space for production, laboratories, development, or storage.
The City of Ludwigsburg is supporting the project through a nationwide competition, offering rental subsidies totaling more than €100,000 to the winners. The application deadline is April 30, 2026. Further information and application details are available at:

LIZ is strategically located in Ludwigsburg’s Weststadt district, between Schlieffenstraße, Grönerstraße, and Wilhelm-Fein-Straße. From 2031 onwards, the planned new light rail line “Lucie” will further enhance connectivity to the site.
