Maturing technology in response to commercial needs<\/h3>\n

Phi-LabNET focuses on maturing technology in response to\u202fneeds coming from the commercial world.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
