The EUSPA Start-up Accelerators database will enhance the downstream space domain by supporting European innovative companies

The EUSPA is launching a call to establish a database of Business Accelerators interested in supporting European innovative companies working with EU Space services and data. This initiative aligns with EUSPA's mission to foster the development of the EU Space industry and entrepreneurship.

The list will be published on the EUSPA website to facilitate contacts between companies using EU Space data and services and investors.

The database will allow start-ups/SMEs in the space segment to connect with business accelerators that may be interested in supporting the start-ups. In fact, by registering in the database, business accelerators will allow Interested economic operators to access their coordinates and relevant information. They will be invited to regular coordination meetings with EUSPA.

To meet the needs of users of downstream space applications and services, EUSPA has consistently taken action to support start-ups, SMEs and space-based R&D projects in developing innovative applications based on European GNSS. The present call is a continuation of this work.

EUSPA will publish the list of Business Accelerators interested in investing in space on its website, aiming to facilitate connections between companies in the downstream space sector and potential investors. The database of Business Accelerators will be maintained for seven years.
