BASS Alumni
A new initiative from ESA's Business Applications and Space Solutions
Stay connected to ESA's BASS Community
At ESA, we understand that innovation and growth doesn't end when a project finishes.
The BASS Alumni Network has been established to help organisations maintain valuable connections, continue sharing expertise and remain part of a collaborative network that supports future innovation and growth.
It offers continued support for our businesses after the formal programme ends, helping them sustain growth, access opportunities, and stay connected to peers and industry leaders within the space and non-space ecosystems.
Purpose of the Network
The Alumni Network has been developed to:
- Extend the value of ESA BASS beyond the activity timeline
- Offer continuous learning, knowledge sharing and capacity building to BASS companies
- Support further company growth through networking and collaboration
- Facilitate collaboration between companies
