Together with partners, ESA BIC Switzerland is the place for entrepreneurs with a link to space technologies in order to realise their innovative ideas and transfer technologies from space to other areas of the economy. So, that doesn't mean rocket science, but applies to multiple application fields such as navigation and positioning, communications techniques, Earth observation, materials, processes, signals or robotics. So let's see how much space is hidden in your innovative business idea! The ESA Business Incubation Centre Switzerland (ESA BIC Switzerland) is a nationwide initiative that will officially open in Q4 2016 and is managed by ETH Zurich, in collaboration with IFJ, Impact Hub Zurich and AP Swiss.
