ESA Space Solutions Belgium, supported by ESA and BELSPO, has a Permanent Open Call for Technology Transfer Demonstrator Proposals. The Technology Transfer Demonstrator has the aim of proving the relevance of a technology/know-how for another application field as well as reducing the risks of the undertaking. The Technology Demonstrator consists in building, deploying and running a complete pilot system in an operational environment, with the objective to assess its operational suitability, and elaborating the implementation plan.
The Demonstrator Call allows both Belgian space and non-space organizations to submit proposals to develop technology transfer demonstrators.
Verhaert Masters in Innovation, as the Belgian ESA broker, invites applicants to submit proposals for Demonstrator projects regarding the transfer of a space technology into a non-space application.
Together with ESA, Verhaert has the budget to select 1 project to be funded with a maximum amount of 143.500 euros each. The projects should be executed in maximum 12 months. There’s an application deadline at the end of each month, the proposals that have been received that month will then be evaluated. If a proposal is selected, the call will be closed. If no proposal has been selected, the call will remain open until the next deadline.
