Open Call for European Demonstrators

30 July 2020 Posted by Alexander Frimout News

Apply to the ESA Open Call for Demonstrators and get funding to demonstrate your earthly application of space technology or know-how. ESA Space Solutions, managed in Belgium by Verhaert, has set up this call to stimulate innovation with technology initially invented for space.

Why build a demonstrator?

Your terrestrial business can benefit from technology that was once designed for space purposes. It might even tackle a very specific technological problem. Building a demonstrator significantly reduces the risks of transferring a technology from one application field to another.

Which technologies are available to you?

If you have a technical challenge and you’re looking for a solution, space technology already has many feasible solutions for you to find inspiration.

Get inspired

What’s in it for you?

We have 39.000 EUR on offer to cover technical costs of demonstrating the use of a space technology in a non-space application. Acceptable costs are related to the implementation of the demonstrators i.e. workforce, materials, equipment.

When, how and where to apply?

Apply by completing this Proposal Template (Microsoft Word file) and send it to [email protected]

Make sure to read the Template Contract (PDF), which is what you will be offered in case your proposal is selected.

What is the evaluation process?

First all proposals will be checked by an Opening Board to determine if formal requirements were accomplished.
When compliant, the Tender Evaluation Board, consisting of ESA, Verhaert, stakeholders and experts, will evaluate the proposals on 4 selection criteria:

  • Suitability of space heritage technology
  • Market opportunity
  • Quality of the proposal
  • Quality of the management plan and financial proposal

The Board will inform the applicant of the evaluation in writing. The two proposals with the highest marks (above 60) will be selected for negotiations.

Want help with your proposal?

Our International broker network is ready to support you in finding a matching technology or market application, as well as give you tips and help with your application. Please contact your local broker today.

    Hi,

    Our Norwegian company Tidewave R&D is applying for the ESA Demonstrator project, with the deadline due on June 1st. We have established dialogue with a very interesting space technology provider from Germany.

    We are planning on attaching a letter of intent for pilot test customers, and therefore wonder if it is ok that this is in Norwegian? Nice to know if we have to make a version in English or if we can use the one that we have.

    Looking forward to hear from you,

    Best Regards,
    Nina Fagerheim Åmodt, Tidewave R&D

      Hi Nina,

      You don’t have to translate the entire letter of intent for the pilot test customers, but we need a summary in English to understand the document. For more questions regarding the Open Call you can contact my colleague Alexander Frimout at [email protected]. We’re looking forward to receive your application.

      Good luck,
      Nicky
