Relying on ENCADRE, the European network of 20 regional clusters and ESINET, the European Network of 27 Space Incubators, a consortium of 11 organisations, led by EBN, implement five intertwined support processes:
- Assess the research, skills and knowledge needs of KIS ventures in the field of satellite based application;
- Foster technological and non-technological innovations, taking into account the dynamic interconnections between research, entrepreneurship, finance and clusters
- Build the KIS4SAT innovation platform where SMEs and entrepreneurs can find the business support packages they need to develop critical mass offers and to accelerate their growth processes
- Test and improve such a platform with at least 250 high growth KIS ventures and innovation intermediaries
- Formulate an exit strategy through the implementation of innovation vouchers with regional clusters and incubators
The KIS4SAT consortium combines an excellent balance of public/private partnerships, regional development actors, consultants and incubators whose core mission is to accompany their entrepreneurs and SME clients in the daily challenges of launching competitive knowledge intensive services into the demanding market place.
