AO10494 CALL FOR PROPOSALS FOR DOWNSTREAM APPLICATIONS IN ARTES 4.0
The tendering process follows a three step approach:
The standard procedure for placing contracts with ESA is the Open Competition. In this case, ESA is inviting companies and organisations to submit a Full Proposal in response to a particular subject as defined by the Agency in coordination with the needs and requirements of the user community collaborating with ESA.
Open competitive ITTs cover one of the following activities:
Before submitting a Full Proposal, the Prime and all subcontractors must register as potential bidders via esa-star – ESA’s System for Tendering And Registration. This process needs to be started as soon as possible, as it will take time to complete.

The European Space Agency's Integrated Application Promotion Programme and Tekes are organising a seminar at the Finnish Meteorological Institute Brainstorm auditorium on 26 September 2013. The IAP Ambassador Platforms APBSR and APFin will participate in the overall arrangements.
The IAP - Integrated Application Promotion - programme aims at developing and promoting applications and services using space assets like telecommunication, earth observation, navigation and human space flight technologies. Integrating space data with terrestrial systems brings up a whole new sphere of business potential and innovation. In order to secure sustainable services, a close cooperation with end-users, solution and service providers, as well as major stakeholders is essential.
The seminar discusses new potential applications and services, and serves as a networking platform for establishing new contacts, creating new ideas and building up partnerships for new business opportunities.
Three major themes will be presented:
Smart traffic, forest and electricity grid.
The sessions will include perspectives from research, enterprise and end-users.
The seminar will be in English, starting with coffee & refreshments at 8.30 am.
Registration by 20 September 2013 to anni.salminen@geowise.fi

The AP-Swiss Opening conference took place on 13 February 2013 at the Rolex Learning Centre of EPFL in Lausanne. The objectives of the conference were:
-to present the current capabilities that space infrastructures can offer,
-to introduce the new opportunities offered by the IAP programme of ESA, and
-to identify the priority know-how and needs of the Swiss industry, including both service providers and end users.
The Conference was also intended to introduce AP-Swiss, the recently established IAP Ambassador Platform for Switzerland, co-sponsored by ESA and the Swiss Space Office and dedicated to fostering the development of integrated space-based applications with and for the Swiss industry.
The Conference provided an opportunity for Swiss stakeholders to network and interact with each other. Nearly 100 attendees representing some 40 Swiss private companies and 10 institutional entities (federal departments, international organizations and universities), took part.
The conference was opened by Daniel Neuenschwander, Director of the Swiss Space Office and Magali Vaissiere, Director of Telecommunications and Integrated Applications at ESA.
Car navigation systems, television broadcast and Google Earth are the three most successful applications of space to date, each relying on a particular space technology. Meteorological forecasting is another example where several technologies are jointly used. The increasing ability, offered by the latest IT advances, to combine the capabilities of positioning systems, Earth observation and telecommunication satellites, opens new opportunities for applications and services for many economic sectors: transport, logistics, commodities, insurance and finance, safety and security, infrastructure management, land and urban development, energy, food, water and tourism. The presentations at the Conference underlined the following priorities for the Swiss space services industry:
Conference participants also recognised the need to proactively develop a Swiss commercial capability in the sectors of energy and water management, including the induced impact of their exploitation. These priorities reflect the existing know-how of Swiss service companies dealing with space technologies and infrastructures as well as the major current trends in market developments.
All the presentations are publicly available and can be found on the website of AP-Swiss.
