There are two calls every year, giving European and international, early-stage ventures and start-ups the opportunity to join the first incubation programme exclusively dedicated to space resources utilization projects. Selected projects will have access to non-dilutive funding in cash for an amount up to €200,000.

Interested to apply?

Through the programme, we aim to identify early-stage space resources ventures with near term business models (space and non-space activities), as well as build a consolidated space resources ecosystem and we are always eager to hear from the community.

Don't hesitate to reach out, we would be happy to discuss!
