    CASSINI Matchmaking programme

    The European Commission Cassini Matchmaking Initiative has been kicked off officially on the 8th April 2022. It is aimed at boosting innovation and accelerating business partnerships by connecting start-ups, scaleups and SMEs with corporates and investors around four main thematic topics to solve their business challenges and address global needs.

    As part of ESA’s strong collaboration with the European Commission and EUSPA, ESA’s Commercialisation department also contributed to the Kick-Off event and will stay involved in supporting the overall implementation and promotion of this initiative.

    If you could not attend the Kick-Off but would like more information, you can still watch the virtual event here. The presentation of the Cassini Matchmaking is also available on the Commission website, along with ESA’s contribution.
