Meet Niels Eldering, ESA, ESA BICs and, the gateway to commercialize space technology 

“ESA BICs support entrepreneurs from A to Z and focus specifically on start-ups that build their business around space technology and big data, both as a form of spin-off from the space sector and new space companies.

The year 2022 will be a disruptive year for information technologies and digitalisation. And, more than ever since the 1990s with the Third Industrial or Computer Revolution, ICT will have a positive impact on the economy, business, society, customs, habits, behaviours, norms, and laws. It will happen in the West (Europe, USA) in one way and the East (Asia, China) in a different way.

When supporting companies working with Industry 4.0 disruptive technologies, our experience tells us that there will be challenges related to commercialisation. Legal and industrial barriers to biosafety, food safety, and ethics, or if the technology breaks specific industry or cultural laws, are real challenges to be surpassed.

Going beyond scientific breakthroughs, toward commercialization and value for society

Progress of knowledge is essential for all communities. Around Europe, this is achieved with programmes and public investment in scientific projects and organisations. Yet, despite these efforts, only very few results stemming from such investments generate an impact outside the scientific community.

Markets lack sufficient support for potentially disruptive tech start-ups. This is where EU|BICS Step in.

Without support from EU|BICs the market will not provide sufficient offers to Industry 4.0 disruptive technologies. Startups working with potentially disruptive technologies are too early, and too risky to be interesting for investors.
