Seeking funding for high-tech spin-off companies
The third ESA annual Investment Forum will take place in Brussels on 7 April. It brings together international investors specialised in seed and early stage funding, looking for hot new ideas, and innovative fledgling high-tech companies, who are seeking funds to get their business up and running.
Organised jointly by ESA’s Technology Transfer Programme Office (TTPO) in collaboration with Europe Unlimited, the EC project KIS4Sat and European Business & Innovation Centre Network (EBN), the ESA Investment Forum is a vehicle to propel new and exciting technology ventures, which use space technology for different applications, fostering not only innovation but ultimately European industry.
