Got An Idea For A Space Technology Business Opportunity?
ESA is calling for proposals from entrepreneurs with new ideas on how space technology can be turned into business opportunities in non-space sectors. The deadline for the last round of proposals for this year is 31 October for the Business Incubator at ESTEC, the Netherlands.
To date, more than 50 entrepreneurs have been hosted at one of ESA’s three Business Incubation centres to start their companies. ESA’s support has led to new businesses providing innovative solutions in non-space fields based upon space technology and satellite supplied services.
As part of its endeavour to encourage the transfer and commercialisation of space technologies, ESA has set up business incubators at ESTEC in the Netherlands, ESOC in Germany and ESRIN in Italy.
The centres support selected entrepreneurs, named ‘incubatees’, with comprehensive commercial and technical assistance to help them start up business that use space technology in non-space industrial, scientific and commercial fields.
For someone who has been looking for the right moment to check into space technology and any possible business opportunities that might be created, this is the moment for them. It can also give someone the chance to expand themselves into something that they might not have considered a possibility before.

That would be cool, but the deadline was nearly four months ago.

John,
I went back to the website and reread it, you’re right. You’ve got my apologies. I didn’t realize it was outdated.
