ESA's ScaleUp programme

The ScaleUp programme is part of ESA’s directorate of Commercialisation, Industry and Procurement which works with all directorates in ESA to help deliver new commercialisation opportunities in European space thereby increasing the competitiveness of Europe’s space economy and bringing socio-economic benefits to European citizens.

ScaleUp, which has two elements, supports a company along its entire life cycle. First, it assists in the development of the enterprise with business incubation, business acceleration, intellectual property and technology transfer services (ScaleUp Innovate), and then, it facilitates the scaling up of their products on new markets (ScaleUp Invest).
