1. The Context Innovation in FEMIP focused almost exclusively on ICT Need for diversification Space-based applications sectors include: - renewable energy - water management and agriculture - health - education - LBS (Location Based Services) - and many more! 02/05/2014

11

2. The Vision Operate a paradigm shift Unlock innovation potential in a wider range of areas Inspiring new and innovative water and energy management solutions Connect EU and FEMIP innovation ecosystems Reinforce Space sector impact in FEMIP countries

02/05/2014

12

3. The Project Establishment of an efficient space utilization Knowledge Transfer Mechanism (KTM) Close partnership with a local incubator or accelerator Hands-on incubation program using ESA BIC model Space R&D

profitable products and services

Model: ESA's successful *IAP/ARTES program * IAP: Integrated Applications Promotion ARTES: Advanced Research on TElecommunication Satellite Systems 02/05/2014

3. The Project Support every step of the innovation value chain knowledge & tech transfer feasibility concept validation firm creation (eventually in partnership) commercialisation internationalisation

02/05/2014

14

3. The Project Launch of thematic calls for ideas (e.g water management) Select projects to be promoted (incubated/accelerated) Assess technical/financial feasibility of new products and or services Optimise solutions by feasibility check Test effectiveness under pre-operational conditions Implement and bring products and services to market 02/05/2014

15

4. Benefits for entrepreneurs Clusters infrastructure (e.g. office space + businessdevelopment support) Pre-seed funding Access to technical expertise/partnerships Support to optimise solutions, roll-out products/services Access to ESA and EIB’s networks (consortia, etc) ESA rubber stamp, facilitating access to further funding 02/05/2014

16

4. Benefits for local incubators Improved market orientation Industry co-funding support Better knowledge transfer between science and industry Cross-disciplinary interaction among incubated firms Transnational support from ESA AP & BICs network

02/05/2014
