Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - April 13, 2026) - Clear Blue Technologies International Inc. (TSXV: CBLU) (FSE: OYA0) ("Clear Blue"), the Smart Off-Grid™ Company, announces that today it has secured a contract with Eutelsat, the GEO-LEO satellite operator as part of the European Space Agency's Sunrise Phase 2 Partnership Project.

The contract involves integrating Clear Blue's Smart Power solutions with Eutelsat's Low Earth Orbit ("LEO") satellite connectivity network. The new "Power Aware Link" system will be designed to deliver resilient internet access for off-grid applications in emerging markets and offer resilient back up power for mission critical security and defence infrastructure.

"Through our Sunrise Partnership Project, ESA creates a framework where industry leaders, like Clear Blue Technologies and Eutelsat, can combine their expertise and foster growth in reliable satellite connectivity services," stated Carsten Tobehn, Sunrise Project Manager at ESA.

"LEO connectivity is bringing high-speed, low-latency services to remote and underserved regions, and reliable power is integral to expanding that connectivity. Working with partners like Clear Blue, we are committed to supporting innovative solutions that broaden opportunity and inclusion," said Guillaume Scottez, Vice President for Innovation at Eutelsat.

"This contract is a significant step forward in our work with Eutelsat and validates the critical role that intelligent power management plays in enabling satellite connectivity," said Miriam Tuerk, CEO & Co-Founder of Clear Blue. "By combining our Smart Power technology with Eutelsat's infrastructure, we are delivering a truly integrated solution that empowers communities and businesses in the most energy-constrained environments around the world."

The goal is to create an integrated, easy to deploy ground system combining hardware and software provided by Eutelsat with Clear Blue's Smart Power platform.

This contract builds on the growing collaboration between Clear Blue and Eutelsat. In December 2025, the companies announced a Letter of Intent for a three-year supply agreement supporting the Eutelsat's Konnect Wi-Fi Service rollout across Africa. The Sunrise project deepens this partnership by now including Eutelsat's LEO OneWeb network.

This contract was made possible thanks to Canada's longstanding cooperation agreement with the European Space Agency (ESA), which allows the Canadian space sector to bid on ESA projects through funding from the Canadian Space Agency (CSA).
