ABOUT US

Estonia became a full member of European Space Agency (ESA) on September 1st, 2015. Two years later we welcome the opportunity to launch ESA Business Incubation Centre (ESA BIC) Estonia with incubation offices in Tartu and Tallinn.

ESA BIC Estonia is part of the Europe-wide ESA BIC network, offering access to ESA expertise, knowledge and data, laboratory and testing facilities of the participating universities and hands on business development support from the Incubation Centre teams. We aim to remain the most advanced digital society in the world and launch new startups in the field of European space technology.

Therefore ESA, together with the Estonian Space Office and various local stakeholders, set up ESA BIC Estonia, the 17th ESA Business Incubation Centre in Europe and the first one in the Baltic States. The implementation and the ongoing management of the Estonian incubation centre is led by Sparkup Tartu Science Park in cooperation with Tallinn Science Park Tehnopol and six other consortium partners.
