Schermopname van een presentatie van Benoit: wat doet Space Solutions Belgium precies? En wat zijn succesvolle voorbeelden van tech transfers in het netwerk van Space Solutions Belgium? Wat betekent space voor schoonmaken? Voor tandartsen? En voor aardappelchips?
First in a series of vlogs for Space Solutions in 2021.
Pieter Deleye explains the European space strategy for the next 7 years, and what it means for companies within and outside the space industry and for spin-offs, start-ups and scale-ups. A short recap of what was presented in Brussels early in February 2021.
The European ambitions are to build trust, collaborate, be ambitious with your space ideas, and act quickly. The technology focus will be on technology such as quantum computing, telecommunication and optical communication units. Important to know is that funding opportunities are becoming more harmonized and integrated.
Listen to the very first Astropreneurs Podcast, an informative half hour for European start-ups that develop products & services linked to space.
Astropreneurs supports start-ups across Europe with training and mentoring. Read more about Astropreneurs.
In this episode, we talk about Earth observation and remote sensing. Sam Waes interviews Zane Smilga about the opportunities on offer in the European Copernicus Incubation Programme.
Space and fusion technologies can often seem out of reach for innovating everyday applications. And yet these advanced technologies are more than ever enabling breakthrough product innovations in several different sectors.
At this network event attendees found out how space and fusion technologies can help them innovate.

Luisa Leroy conducted four interviews with people and start-ups in the Astropreneurs network at the Fall Network meeting in Coimbra, Portugal.
What is it? How do you apply? And what are your experiences as a start-up?
The opportunities in the Astropreneurs programme explained by Carlos Cerqueira.

On Tuesday 28 May ESA Space Solutions Belgium organizes an informal ‘Space Drink’ at The Beacon. Guest speaker is Nicolas Helssen who will talk about ‘Space for Artificial Intelligence’.
Artificial intelligence can be weaved together with space technologies to provide exciting new solutions to a wide array of industries. In this short talk, we’ll give you a glimpse of how space data can enhance businesses, and how ESA Space Solutions Belgium can offer you the tools and funding to develop your ideas.
For instance, AI could merge geo-referenced satellite data about detected cars in parking lots with weather forecasts and transaction data to predict future sales for large retail stores, or even combine satellite data on wind patterns with machine-learning algorithms to optimise fuel consumption of aircrafts and maritime vessels.
We’ll touch upon several industries to give you a tease of what’s possible when space meets AI, hopefully piquing your interest and encouraging you to explore new avenues in your technical and commercial developments.
Entrepreneurs, Startups, R&D specialist, Incubators, Developers, Space enthusiasts, …
Tuesday 28 May 2019, 16h at The Beacon (Sint-Pietersvliet 7, Antwerp)
Are you interested to discover how your terrestrial business can benefit from outstanding space technology and know-how? And how to use technology from Earth in applications related to space? Sign up for a business meetingwith one of our experts or visit us at booth 160.
ESA Space Solutions Belgium connects companies looking for engineering services with space, through an agile and specialized transfer, incubation and business network. This national initiative is managed by Verhaert Masters in Innovation and offers:
The second edition of Advanced Engineering will take place on 22 and 23 May at Flanders Expo Ghent. You’ll get a complete picture of all aspects within the product development process: design and prototyping, materials and components, electronics and connectivity.
What IoT applications will change our daily lives? And what trends should we keep an eye on? One thing is clear: Businesses are investing in IoT more than ever. In 2019, the IoT Convention will focus on 4 main tracks: smart cities, smart mobility, smart living and smart industries. The latter covered entirely by 3IF Industry 4.0 Conference. ESA Space Solutions Belgium will be present again this year with a booth and with a talk on:
Space for Smart Cities:
Opportunities for the development of space-enabled applications
IoT is already present in many aspects of daily life: health & fitness applications, security, home automation, smart cities, connected vehicles, energy, etc. Whatever their purpose, these solutions may require global interconnectivity, precision timing, positioning, remote monitoring or geo-information.
Space assets such as satellite communication, navigation, Earth observation or human spaceflight technology can satisfy some of these needs and thus empower these services. During the Space for Smart Cities talk, we will explore some of the space-enabled services that can make cities smarter and explain how ESA Space Solutions can give companies the right tools to further develop their IoT business.
From 2019 on, the Internet of Things Convention Europe will host the 3iF Industry 4.0 Conference. This collaboration creates new opportunities for visitors and sponsoring partners as well, with more speakers, better focus, a broader audience and more business opportunities for all parties involved.

ESA has opened a call to foster Space Technology Transfer.
The FEASIBILITY STUDIES (FS) aims at assessing the feasibility of the adaptation and the use of a space technology to another field of application. The FS shall encompass the technical risks, identify user requirements, study the market and develop an operational plan towards a successful technology transfer.
1 month FS projects will be funded up to a maximum of 10k €.
The PROOF OF CONCEPT (PoC) is directed to demonstrate to a user that the space heritage meets their main functional and technical requirements by building a breadboard.
6 month PoC may be funded up to a maximum of 50k €.
Space origin can be hardware or software, know-how, processes, methodologies and systems developed or adapted for space applications. When the technology was not originally developed for space, but adapted and qualified to the space conditions, there should be clear benefits/teachings that the adaptation for the space field brings to the new applications (eg: size and weight reduction, material used, test results, etc).
Deadline: 16th April 2019 at 13:00 (CET).
