ESA Phi-LabNET Spain is the competence centre in Barcelona that drives innovation for commercialising space technologies to enhance climate resilience.
ESA’s PhiLabNET centres aim to create a dynamic network of centres across Europe focused on innovation and whose results can be transferred to the market. Its main mission is to accelerate the future of the space sector, both upstream and downstream, based on innovation projects with high commercial potential that transform or create industrial fabrics through new technologies. The goal is, therefore, to strengthen competitiveness in the productive sector through European research and make Europe the world leader in this field.
Phi-LabNET Spain will support innovative and disruptive projects that explicitly improve climate resilience through calls led by the consortium coordinating it.
This first call is open to companies, research organisations and startups (legal entities or consortia registered in Spain or ESA Member States, provided they offer a clear benefit to Spain). It will remain open until January 21, 2025.
ESA Phi-LabNET Spain is a European Space Agency (ESA) programme supported by the Spanish Space Agency (AEE) and the Generalitat de Catalunya. It will last 6 years.
This new initiative is part of ESA’s ScaleUp Programme. It is coordinated by the Institute of Space Studies of Catalonia (IEEC), as leader of a consortium formed by the i2CAT Foundation, the Cartographic and Geological Institute of Catalonia (ICGC), the General CSIC Foundation, the KIMbcn Foundation, Arribes Enlightenment, the University of Valencia (UVEG), the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC), the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC-CNS), the Ricardo Valle Institute of Innovation Foundation (INNOVA IRV), the ESA MELiSSA Pilot Plant of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), and the Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO).
ESA Phi-LabNET Spain is located in the RDIT building of the Parc Mediterrani de la Tecnologia de Castelldefels, Barcelona, which is also home to the IEEC and ESA-BIC Barcelona offices.
