LIFT OFF YOUR BUSINESS
WE SUPPORT SPACE RELATED STARTUPS
SPACE TECHNOLOGY FOR APPLICATIONS ON EARTH
The Space Business Innovation Centre (SBIC) Noordwijk supports startups which use space technologies. We offer various programmes, manage projects and host workshops and events for every stage of the entrepreneurial journey. We also provide access to an international network, tools and knowledge, and can provide business and financial support.
First-class partners
Together with our national and international partners, we help entrepreneurs to transfer technologies or data from the space domain into successful terrestrial businesses. Partners play a key role in our space business community.
10+ years experience
We have over 10 years of experience inspiring entrepreneurs and supporting startups. In that time, we have successfully incubated almost 150 companies and inspired many more people to start their own space related business.
Lively business community
We empower your entrepreneurship by making connections. Join our unique and focused space business community and start building your network! Members benefit from access to the co-working space and receive free tickets for workshops.
What we do
SBIC Noordwijk supports entrepreneurs and startups that want to launch or improve a product or service that makes use of space technology. Our primary activity is managing ESA BIC Noordwijk – the European Space Agency’s business incubation centre based in the Netherlands.
We also manage other programmes and projects, host events, organise workshops and attract community members to join us at the heart of the Dutch space network.
Space technology for Earth
Space technology is leading-edge technology with very high standards and reliability. These characteristics give it a unique selling point for applications on Earth.
However, it is a challenge to move from the initial idea phase to the development of a successful space startup company. This is why we and our key partners support the creation of your new businesses with financial, technical and business support.
