ESA BIC Nord France

ESA BIC Nord France is a business incubator, part of the European Space Agency's (ESA) network, that supports startups linked to the space sector. Launched in June 2018, it aims to foster the creation and development of companies using space technology or data for other economic sectors. The program offers up to two years of support, including technical assistance from the French Space Agency (CNES), business coaching, and funding. It provides a grant of €25,000, which is typically matched by another €25,000 from other partners, and may also include a loan offer. The incubator is coordinated by Ouest BIC Technopoles and covers six regions in northern France.
