The BSGN Life Science Industry Accelerator’s second call for projects is now open until June 30, 2025!
This is a unique opportunity to involve new players from the biomanufacturing, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and cosmetics sectors. The program connects these new players with commercial space service providers.
space offers a unique experimental environment where biological and physical systems behave differently. The space environment allows us to re-discover materials and properties, improve understanding of processes and interaction of substances, and to create new and more accurate data models. At reduced levels of gravity, the biological, chemical and physical processes change. Numerous studies have demonstrated the value of space-based research, leading to advancements in, for instance, biomarker discovery, new biologics formulations, aging models, organoids, and protein crystallization. You can use these insights to develop new materials and processes for products that can be used on Earth.
Whether it’s to obtain direct co-financing for a flight, or to identify and access ESA’s most relevant co-financing tools, this program represents a real opportunity for those wishing to exploit the unique assets of the space environment in the service of terrestrial challenges.
