Programme Description

In ESA Business Applications our aim is to show that space is open for business and has the power to improve our everyday lives on Earth. We do this by helping companies to integrate space data and technology (GPS navigation, Earth Observation and Satellite Communication for example) into commercial services.

Of particular interest are applications that promote the use of space technology to previously ‘untapped’ consumer markets. ESA Business Applications seeks to fund innovative new services developed for these markets, which could provide major benefits to society and the economy. 

Successful applicants receive:

• Zero-equity funding (from €60k to €2M+ per activity)
• A personalised ESA consultant
• Technical & commercial guidance
• Access to our network of partners
• Credibility of the ESA brand
