Licensed to inspire

Brand Licensing Europe, held at ExCel London from 4 to 6 October, will bring some of the biggest global brands to Europe, including household names and the hottest newcomers. It’s a fantastic opportunity for ESA to catch up with Rocket Licensing, who hold ESA’s master license, as well as to scout for outstanding partners to join ESA’s interplanetary mission.

ESA’s scientists, engineers and astronauts extend our knowledge of the Universe and provide space-based services and technologies that benefit people in their everyday lives. One way to boost awareness of ESA and to share the amazing story of what we do is through licensing. Teaming up with commercial brands puts ESA in the public eye and the right products can help us to inspire the next generation of space explorers and scientists.

We invite companies interested in working with the ESA brand to come and meet us at BLE 2023 on stand A205 with Rocket Licensing. It’s sure to be busy, as we’ve teamed up with Rocket to set a space-related challenge. Visitors on the first day of the show will be offered the chance to identify three heavenly bodies based on their smell. It’s fun, but thought-provoking - and all based on sound science provided by ESA experts. 

Emmet Fletcher, Head of ESA’s Branding and Partnerships Office commented: “It’s great to be accompanying Rocket at BLE again. ESA’s stellar heritage and inspirational programmes are a unique way to create innovative and attractive products, and BLE is a great way to showcase this to the brand licensing community.”
