The registration period is now closed, and the first round of the ESA BIC Liftoff Challenge has officially come to an end. A big thank you to everyone who submitted their ideas and took part in this exciting first phase!
The best projects have already been selected, and their teams are now moving on to Round 2. In this next stage, participants will have the opportunity to work closely with experienced mentors who will help them take their ideas to the next level. Through individual guidance, expert feedback, and dedicated workshops, the teams will develop their Lean Canvas into a comprehensive business plan and start shaping their startup journey in earnest.
The most promising teams will then qualify for Round 3, where they’ll present their refined concepts to a panel of experts and investors during Czech Space Week 2025. Only the best of the best will take the stage and compete for the top prize.
We’re excited to see how these ideas evolve and which ones will rise all the way to the stars. Stay tuned!
