The European Space Agency (ESA), in coordination with the UK Space Agency (UKSA), will be opening tenders on the implementation and management of an ESA Φ-lab in the UK and on the implementation and management of ESA Technology Broker in the UK. These activities fall under the INNOVATE element of ESA ScaleUp Programme.
To support interest in these opportunities, ESA is organising a virtual ScaleUp Information Day for potential bidders in the UK on Thursday 2 November 2023, 9:30 GMT, where an expert panel with representatives from ESA and the UKSA on ESA’s ScaleUp Programme will present the common approaches of ESA Φ-lab and ESA Technology Broker activities and the opportunity for the UK. The webinar will also touch upon the INVEST element of ESA’s ScaleUp Programme and complementary investment activities fostered by the UKSA.
The event is open to entities registered in the UK. The agenda is subject to change.
