One of the most important tasks of SBIC is managing ESA’s startup programme in the Netherlands, ESA BIC Noordwijk. Next to that, on a project basis, we often work with other space related efforts, like the NL Space Campus or helping entrepreneurs from abroad set up their space business in The Netherlands.

We both find enjoying our work very important, have ambitions in growing our experience and skills, are curious to learn more and innovate the industry, and we have direct, honest and transparent communication styles.
