BSSC knowledge transfer

The BSSC Think Tank has a strong position in the Baltic Sea Region market. The main objective is to identify trends in the global maritime economy and space technologies and their environment, as well as to create strategies and set directions for development in the maritime economy and space technologies in the Baltic Sea Region.

BSSC THINK TANK is an initiative that was created during the conference Maritime Policy, and developed during conferences organized by the Space Sciences PAN Commission in cooperation with scientific centers and business representatives at the Institute of Oceanology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Gdańsk Tech, University of Business Administration and Naval Academy. Their aim was to analyze the implementation of Poland’s maritime policy and the development of space technologies and to determine the methods, actions and tools for optimal use of Poland’s maritime and cosmic scientific and industrial potential and the position of our country in the Baltic Sea Region.

ESA Business Incubation Centres (ESA BICs) are the largest network of space incubators in Europe. The main objective of ESA BICs is to support entrepreneurs with a space-based business idea, thereby creating and growing clusters of space related start-ups across Europe.

All ESA BIC are managed by local champions who connect their ESA BICs to their local industry, universities, research organisations, government, and investor communities, while also maintaining strong regional/national links. This makes the ESA BICs very well embedded in the local communities as well as the place of choice for all space related innovation and business. ESA BIC Poland is joining the network as the 26th ESA BIC. The objective of ESA BIC Poland is to create and strengthen the community of successful space related start-ups in Poland by supporting 35 incubatees over the period of 5 years under the ESA BIC scheme. ESA BIC Poland’s tasks include: • promoting entrepreneurship; • supporting cooperation between science, business and administration; • activities that strengthen international cooperation; and support for the SME sector. Beneficiaries of the program, are micro, small or medium-sized enterprises, operating in the market for no more than 5 years, providing products, processes or services using new technologies or with innovative use of existing technologies.
