1. The Europeans (ESA or the French) are building their own space capsule, or
2. They are making it compatible with someone else’ hardware.
The second case is very unlikely. The choices would be SpaceX, Boeing, or Roscosmos. My guess, and this is only a guess, is that only SpaceX would let them try this suit in their capsule. Only SpaceX is committed to open architecture, to the point where they would share the interface data so that the suit connections to capsule life support could be made.
Edit: I think this is a sensible step toward (1), the Europeans building their own space capsule.

When I was a kid, other kids were making fun of you wearing decathlon gear.
They are now supplying multiple professional sports teams in different sports, including for the french olympic team last year.
Their product are cheap and durable and they have little to envy from the big brands. What a transformation

This is an IVA suit, and it only makes sense if:
