The mission of Phi-Lab NET is to bring research closer to commercialisation by bridging disruptive research and commercial needs.
Phi-Lab Net focuses on maturing technology in response to needs coming from the commercial world.
Each Phi-Lab in the network aims to be a reference centre for a particular theme. Specific funding opportunities for Economic Operators are regularly issued, in alignment with National and ESA priorities and programmes.
Each Phi-Lab creates a sustainable ecosystem for innovation, providing comprehensive support to selected Economic Operators, including intellectual contributions and a range of services under one roof.
