WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Despite working in space, we have our feet firmly on the ground when it comes to business and we expect our partners to be the same.

We’re looking for teams that have identified a market opportunity that’s attractive and has real potential for engaging customers. Motivation, business experience and industry domain expertise are key.

But most importantly of all, we want to hear business ideas that are commercially viable, technically possible and involve either space tech or data.

WHAT WE OFFER

  • Zero-equity funding (from €60k to €3M+ per activity).
  • Personalised support from a member of the ESA team.
  • Technical & commercial guidance.
  • Access to our network of partners. 
  • Credibility of the ESA brand.

How to Apply

Following the transition of BASS into ESA's new ACCESS programme, the funding offering is further enhanced to support businesses with frameworks targeted at their level of maturity and commercial readiness. 

The new calls will start opening from December 2025, and details of the respective application processes will then be updated here.  

Please note that the Proposal templates for the funding opportunities under the new Calls for Proposal will be slightly different, so please be sure to use the correct templates in your application.
