Our activities
SBIC Noordwijk hosts and facilitates various programmes and events that can all be described with two keywords: space & business.
What we do
Some people are born entrepreneurs. Others need a little inspiration to help them start on their entrepreneurial journey.
Next to running the ESA BIC incubation programme and the Ignition Programme, we organise activities and events: from workshops & masterclasses; to hackathons & competitions; to pitch sessions & networking opportunities. We help our community members become the best entrepreneurs they can be. We are also on the look out to make connections and spark collaboration in our role managing the ESA Technology Broker NL.

Ideas emerge and new connections are forged when the ESA Technology Broker helps to introduce parties from different sectors.
Workshops
