    ESA Business Incubation Centres

    ESA Business Incubation Centres (BICs), its associated network of business incubators and the European Space Incubators Network (ESINET) are designed to bridge the gap between an idea and getting the technology transfer project off the ground, and assisting its development into a viable business.

    “Establish your start-up company based on the new services and applications emerging from the creative use of space technologies and systems in non-space sectors.”
    The Technology Transfer Programme Office (TTPO) seeks entrepreneurs with innovative ideas for using space technology, applications and services in a non-space environment.

    ESA BICs - part of ESA's Technology Transfer Programme Office (TTPO) - provide technical expertise and business-development support.

    Entrepreneurs: Contact us if you have an innovative idea or business plan based on using a space technology or system in a non-space environment. If you are ready for commercial development, submit your proposal to join one of the ESA BICs.

    Space companies: Contact us to outsource the spin-off initiatives of your employees in an innovative win-win scheme.

    Research Centres and Universities: Encourage your staff and students to set up their own companies bringing leading-edge research to the marketplace through ESA Business Incubation.

    If you have questions regarding ESA Business Incubation, please contact us on either:

    • Bruno Naulais, the ESA BIC Manager, on bruno.naulais@esa.int
    • ESA Technology Transfer Program Office, on ttp@esa.int

    or directly at one of the four ESA Business Incubator Centres.
