ESA BIC Redu

ESA BIC Redu team

The ESA Business Incubation Centre (BIC) Redu in Libin, Belgium, was founded in 2012, and located in the the futuristic Galaxia business park in Transinne (Libin), only 4 km away from ESA’s Redu Centre.

The new Belgian incubation centre is dedicated to space applications, and is managed by IDELUX.

As a natural consequence of the variety of satellites operated by ESA from Redu, ESA BIC Redu is aimed at companies specialized in telecommunications, Earth observation, navigation systems as well as integrated applications.
