Assisting European Space Start-ups in Scaling Up

Activities

Starting from 2019, there will be 6 space academies, involving 10 startups in each. These 2 day events will be held throughout Europe in various relevant space and business locations. 

The third Space Academy dates have been changed and will be held in Rome from the 9th to the 11th December 2020. Space Academy Cork has also been postponed to the 14th to the 16th April 2021. Full information on the event is available in SpaceUp website. 

The selected startups will receive support documentation based on their business plan and needs beforehand; take part in up to six individually selected one-to-one mentoring and coaching meetings; pitch in front of a large audience including investors on the second day and have their travel expenses covered, including participating in at least one network dinner and possibly in the final event.

The events will be broken down as follows:

Day 1

• One-to-one and roundtable meetings and workshops. All entrepreneurs will be able to improve their skills and get insights from experts on various topics. There will be workshops consisting of more general skills, although still intensive. The skills taught such as Investment readiness, business modelling and IPR are applicable to all sectors. The meetings will be much more personalised.
