What we do for you

ESA’s Business Applications programme offers Austrian companies and communities powerful tools to fully exploit space assets for the benefit of the economy and everyday life. At the heart of these activities, the Business Applications Austria Ambassadors promote the utilisation of space-based products and services such as Earth Observation data, Satellite Navigation, Telecommunication services and technologies derived from Human Spaceflight for applying these assets to successful terrestrial applications and services.

How we do it

Ambassadors foster the engagement between space and non-space players from industry and academia into national and international partnerships.

ESA Business Applications Austria then supports these entities in taking advantage of the multiple opportunities within the ESA Business Applications programmes: business and technical feasibility checks, demonstrators and pilots, obtaining technical expertise and funding from ESA and industry partners.

Our ultimate goal is to foster cross-sectorial and cross-national innovation, based on the capabilities of space data and services, leading to increase economic activity, growth and prosperity in Austria and beyond.

If you have any queries, please contact our ESA BA Austria Ambassadors: spacesolutions@sciencepark.at.

Our activities include:

Providing information and coaching on programmes and support to the submission of proposals to ESA Business Applications opportunities;
Fostering networking and awareness raising through the organization of workshops and thematic events, putting together complementary stakeholders (e.g. space data experts, service providers, entities in a value chain, potential customers);
Implementing the Spark4Space funding call, a national funding opportunity (once available);
Leveraging on Austria’s “one-stop-shop” for space related businesses, creating synergies between Business Incubation, Business Applications and Technology Transfer.
