Elittoral exploring new markets in Canada as part of Space2Waves

The Space2Waves program has given elittoral a real opportunity to explore new markets, in this case Canada, which they already know is highly developed in the field of remote sensing applied to the study of the marine environment.

The Space2Waves program that, in addition to offering participating companies a very precise map of the context of the target market (economic, social, cultural, political, environmental ...), provides information on possible entities (public, private and research bodies ) with which to strengthen commercial and / or collaborative relationships.

The program has specialized advisers in each market who, before the commercial phase (trade missions), work very directly with the participating companies in order to gain a good understanding of their peculiarities, specialized services and expertise.

In short, taking advantage of our participation in the program is crucial to introducing the services of elittoral in Canada; a market that we are exploring together with the project professionals and that we consider offers great opportunities for a marine environmental consulting firm such as elittoral.

Gloria Álvarez Vázquez is the Comercial Director at elittoral (Spain). For more information please visit our website at: https://www.elittoral.es/

ESA BIC Greece support available via Corallia

ESA BICs Greece provide support to start-ups to turn their space-connected business ideas into commercial companies.

Currently there are are 22 ESA BICs in Europe across 60 locations. Over 1000 start-ups have already benefited from ESA Business Incubation with over 700 million Euro worth of investment.

The ESA BIC Greece is managed by Space2Waves partner Corallia, a unit of the Research Center Athena. The objective of the ESA BIC Greece is to create and strengthen the community of successful space related start-ups in Greece by supporting 25 incubatees over the period of 5 years under the ESA BIC scheme.

The incubated start-ups should either exploit space technology in non-space markets (spin-off) or become suppliers to the space sector (spin-in). The ESA BIC Greece is providing support to the start-ups such that they can develop their business and their technology until they are ready to leave the incubation phase and continue operating and growing without support from the incubator. This is being accomplished in collaboration with more than 65 supporting organisations. Those supporters are Ministries and Public Agencies, Universities, Research Centers, Industry, Financing Institutions, Associations and Networks, other ESA BICs and Civil Society NFPs in Greece and ESA Members. The ESA BIC Greece is under the auspices of the Greek Ministry of Digital Governance and has identified as a key element in the development plan of the Greek Space Industry.

The incentive will be maximum 50,000 EURO in cash (non-equity funding) covering costs incurred for Product/Service Development and IPR (e.g. patenting or acquiring licenses). In addition to the cash incentive, the ESA BIC Greece provides the incubatees with a maximum of 80 hrs technical support necessary for and directly related to the activity of the incubatee, 50 hours of business development support and 10 hours of IPR/legal advice. The Support will be provided for the duration of the Incubation and is offered on a best effort basis.

Incubation will take place at Corallia's facilities in Attica, Greece, where it involves the fully equipped Innovation Hub of Athens (innohub).

ESA BIC Greece has a Permanent Open Call. Applicants can submit their application anytime at https://www.esa-bic.gr/apply/. However, there are fixed cut-off dates during the year when evaluation takes place for all applications submitted before a certain cut-off date. The next cut off date is 21st February 2022.

Visit to Space Week at Expo Dubai from project partner DTA

Space2Waves project partner, DTA, recently visited Space Week (17th-23rd October 2021) at Expo Dubai representing the Apulia Region in Italy.

DTA, as the stakeholder representing the Apulia region, facilitates the competitiveness of its members through participation in internationalisation programmes.

In the Space2Waves project, DTA is responsible for the UAE market for developing space solutions for the Blue Economy.

During the event, DTA's President, Giuseppe Acierno presented 'Journey into beauty and innovation: from Apulia to Space'; the theme of the exhibit from Apulia.

The visit by DTA representatives to the Sharjah Research Technology and Innovation Park was useful to open the way to future cooperation with European SMEs from the Space2Waves project. The center was established in 2016 in order to create an innovative and multicultural environment that promotes the collaboration between Research and Development and enterprise activities under the triple helix of industry, government and academia.

Located close to the modern University of Sharjah, the center employs many young and motivated staff from local enterprises to ensure investment in the local market. For more information visit: https://srtip.ae/

Following this initial contact with the UAE region, DTA will be working in close cooperation with the Space2Waves partners and the Apulia Region to organise a match-making mission for the SMEs participating in the project. The aim will be to capitalise on the experience of Space Week and develop the Blue Economy themes that are relevant in the region where water is so important for the economy and well-being.
