In order to support the commercial utilisation of the ISS and of other flights opportunities, and to provide a more effective end-to-end service to customers, ESA has set up a network of Commercial Agents in selected market sectors throughout Europe.
The Commercial Agents offer the most important help in developing customers’ initial business ideas into feasible projects. The Commercial Agent in charge of a project will support the customer in the entire process that leads to the submission of the Commercial Proposal to ESA, including helping the customer drafting the Commercial Proposal. Furthermore, the agents will help the customer identifying the required end-to-end services and negotiate the provisions of those services with the Industrial Partners of the Co-operation Agreement.
