Empowering innovation intermediaries to generate sustainable initiatives to incentivise and accelerate the commercialisation of space innovation
InnORBIT will support 50 start-ups and scale-ups to grow and commercialise their space solutions via 20 sustainable and effective initiatives. We focus on SEE and CEE countries with vibrant tech ecosystems and industry verticals with great potential for contributing to the commercialisation of space. We anchor our initiatives to innovation intermediaries well-embedded in their ecosystems, starting with a pivotal space technology and industry association in Romania, an intermediary managing 3 high-tech clusters in Greece and a major digital innovation hub in Croatia. Alongside them we co-develop our solutions: a business support programme to help space entrepreneurs in starting and scaling-up their commercial activities and a capacity building programme for training intermediaries to set up and run local initiatives. We then ?train their trainers? and support them to scout, screen and select the start-ups and scale-ups to participate in the initiatives, emphasising the ones with the most promising potential for application areas (e.g. Galileo, Copernicus) or spinning-in/-out. Well-trained experts will assess their needs and co-define the services required for catalysing their growth in synergy with EU actions. Our service portfolio includes trainings, mentoring, networking and support to access financing and funding opportunities. A monitoring and evaluation framework will allow us to collect ample evidence on the performance of our solutions, improve them and follow up to train and engage additional intermediaries in SEE and CEE. We will support over 20 intermediaries to generate their own local initiatives, openly demonstrating and proving the replication potential of our solutions. We will then pack our solutions along with business models and lessons learnt into a replication guide, enabling other intermediaries to replicate them, while also delivering recommendations for more enabling environments and innovative financial support frames for space innovation.
