ESA Business Incubation Centres - January 2019

The network of ESA Business Incubation Centres (ESA BICs) consists of 20 centres in 16 European countries, providing in more than 60 cities the needed technical expertise and business-development support to the more than 300 start-ups currently under incubation. To date over 700 start-ups have been fostered throughout Europe with thousands of new high tech jobs created thanks to the applications of space systems, the valorization of ESA intellectual properties and the space technologies transfers - and more than 180 new start-ups are taken in yearly at the ESA BICs.
