ESA BIC Finland

📣 PRESS RELEASE 📣 The European Space Agency (ESA) Business Incubator is looking for promising Finnish startups Through the ESA BIC Finland program coordinated by Aalto Startup Center, the European Space Agency ESA supports space-related startups in their early stages. You don’t have to design satellites to get involved – for example, food supply in extreme conditions is just as important. 🛰️ Of the new companies selected in autumn 2024, NorthBase, the first private builder of satellite ground stations in the Nordic countries, will next seek international growth. 🌳 Another of the startups selected to participate is KOKO Forest from Helsinki, which is developing new processes for forest health monitoring using high-resolution satellite images. We also want to warmly welcome Oinride, SharpNav, and ColdXRay to the ESA BIC Finland program. More details about all of them are coming soon! 🔗 Read the full press release here: https://lnkd.in/dUzf2yd6 ESA Commercialisation Gateway Business Finland Aalto University University of Vaasa

🛰️ Suomalaiset startupit tähtäävät nyt avaruuteen ja puolustusteknologiaan – tältä näyttää Slushissa. ”Ihmisyyteen liittyvät ongelmat” ja niiden ratkaisumahdollisuudet ovat esillä kasvuyritystapahtuma Slushissa. – Käytämme fotonista järjestelmää eli tuotamme vesihöyryä viljelyseinän sisällä, josta kasvien juuret nappaavat kaiken tarvittavan ja kasvavat siinä kaapissa iloisesti, kertoo tutkimusjohtaja Daniel Rotko (Arctic Farming). – Huoli ilmastonmuutoksen kasvamisesta herätti meidät siihen, että voisimme käyttää teknologiaa ihmiskunnan ja yritysten hyväksi säästämällä ja maapallon bioresursseja, kertoo toimitusjohtaja Jarkko Antila (Kuva Space).

🪐 Avaruusteknologia on mukana silloinkin, kun selaat somea – Vaasassa kasvatetaan tulevaisuuden avaruusosaajia Suomalaisyritykset tähtäävät nyt raketin lailla avaruuteen. Siksi avaruuden tarjoamat mahdollisuudet on tärkeää tuoda tulevaisuuden tekijöiden tietoon. Vaasan yliopisto on Aalto yliopiston lisäksi Suomen ainoa korkeakoulu, jossa avaruustaloutta voi opiskella.

👩🚀 "It was almost an obvious choice to apply" -Daniel Rotko, Team Biologist at Arctic Farming. 🚀 "I would encourage other incubatees to, while they still have fresh experience from ESA BIC, use it to apply for other ESA programs and see where they can go from there because that's usually where a lot more value can then be created for them as a company". -Ignaty Romanov-Chernigovsky, Head of Software at Arctic Farming. Check this interview about Arctic Farming's experience in the ESA BIC Finland incubation program. 🤩 More videos coming soon!
