The European Space Agency and OVHcloud have renewed their collaboration to support innovative space start-ups in AI, with a focus on sustainability
This partnership is part of the ESA Partnership Initiative for Commercialisation (EPIC) and aims to enhance business opportunities for European start-ups and scale-ups involved in ESA’s Business Incubation Centers (BIC), Technology Brokers, Phi-LabNET, Φ-lab, InCubed, as well as in the OVHcloud Startup Programme.
The collaboration promotes the use of OVHcloud AI Solutions, including AI Endpoints, within ESA Commercialisation Networks. These solutions enable developers to enhance applications with AI APIs without requiring AI expertise or dedicated infrastructure.
Selected start-ups will also be able to apply to the OVHcloud Fast Forward AI Accelerator for additional technical and go-to-market support. The first cohort will run from January to April 2025, with applications closing on 24 November 2024.
