The first companies joined ScaleUp INVEST, a new ESA commercialisation programme which aims at accelerating the growth of the private space ecosystem.
By gaining the label “Supported by ScaleUp” and joining the ScaleUp INVEST Marketplace, visionary European companies can fast-track their growth trajectory and establish themselves on the local and global market. Thanks to the new streamlined procedure that has been developed by the commercialisation team and tailored for industry needs, the improved evaluation and implementation speed of the programme is redefining the industry standard.
Gianluigi Baldesi, Head of Ventures and Financing Office at ESA, says: “Designed together with our stakeholders, ScaleUp INVEST represents a new way for ESA to foster the development of industrial players in upstream and downstream emerging markets. We are looking forward to testing this disruptive approach.”
In the frame of the thematic campaign on exploring the market of IOD/IOV “turn-key” services, here the first companies to be “Supported by ScaleUp” in order of acceptance:
ScaleUp programme is based on two distinct elements: Element 1 (INNOVATE), whose goal is to boost innovation and commercialisation in Europe by providing services to support the growth of companies from initial business ideation up to market readiness, and Element 2 (INVEST), supporting companies in taking more risks, reach markets faster, and attract private and institutional investors through the ESA Investor Network, Business Accelerators, and ScaleUp INVEST Marketplace.
