ESA BIC Czech Republic is looking for space startups that are ready to turn their bold ideas into business success providing €50,000 in non-equity funding and expert support. Whether you are applying space technology to everyday markets or building solutions that can make their way into orbit, this is your chance to shine.
For up to two years, startups receive hands-on mentoring, legal, financial and marketing advice, office space, technical support from ESA and direct access to international partners and investors through the incubation centre.
“Innovation does not wait, and neither should you. Participating in ESA BIC Czech Republic is not only about obtaining funding. It is about acquiring expertise, credibility and privileged access to ESA’s international network, offering opportunities that open doors far beyond the Czech Republic,” says Michal Kuneš, Project Manager at ESA BIC Czech Republic.
The next application deadline is Friday, 31 October 2025 at 23:59 (CET).
