The increased demand to attract new companies for new services and applications in the UK requires a broader outreach and a regional presence of Ambassador Platforms in all areas of the UK. The efforts of those Ambassadors shall be coordinated to maximise impact and reach.

Therefore, the UK Ambassador Platform (AP) is looking for a UK AP Business Developer (UK AP BD) to support and coordinate access to the ESA Business Applications funding opportunities, in order to create long-term sustainability of new space-enabled businesses, services and applications.

The current global economic demand for resources and the shrinkage of the ice coverage measured recently is starting to bring international attention to the Arctic. The Arctic is considered to host vast natural resources, including oil, gas, minerals, fresh water, fish and forest resources.

The Arctic region is an area where, given the harsh environment and isolation status, space assets are among the important tools that support, and will support more, the development of the activities in the area, and in particular the sustainability and security and safety of those activities.

The UK Ambassador Platform Network (UK APN) is looking for 5 Regional Ambassador Platforms (RAPs) to act as brokers between ESA and individuals, companies, agencies and organisations in the UK who can be supported by ESA Business Applications.

PEOPLE MOBILITY

The common challenge for European cities is how to enhance people mobility while at the same time reducing congestion, accidents and pollution. In fact, urban mobility accounts for 40% of all CO2 emissions of road transport and up to 70% of other pollutants from transport.
