Why innovate with space?
Space is an incredibly hard environment to work in: weightless, airless and with daunting temperature extremes. The demand for systems that operate reliably for years on end, with no chance of repair, presents a perpetual challenge to scientists and engineers. The resulting technologies are in a class of their own, offering valuable attributes to terrestrial industries.
Success stories
Belgian tech transfers through our network
An imaging technology developed for space finds an application in a device for cell therapy.
The ESA Technology Transfer Network
Space Solutions Belgium is part of the ESA technoloy Transfer Network. Together we exploit technology and know-how from space and initiate a technology transfer between technology provider and receiver. 20 incubation centers within 17 countries, over 60+ locations, support space-related start-ups to get their business off the ground.
