About ESA Technology Broker United Kingdom

Becoming the ESA Technology Broker in the UK, as part of the ESA ScaleUp programme, underscores TWI’s commitment to driving innovation and fostering collaboration, both within the space industry and between space and non-space sectors. The overall programme of work is split into two main parts: 🚀 Technology Brokerage: This part of the work will see TWI support and promote activities between space and non-space entities, including match-making between interested organisations. 🌌 Prepare for Space: This technology transfer programme will allow non-space companies to apply for business and technical support, lowering the barrier of entry to the space industry. Our aim, as the ESA Technology Broker in the UK is focused on building an ecosystem that fuels technical innovation and mutual growth between terrestrial and space industries to create a collaborative environment that delivers tangible outcomes. These collaborative, commercial activities will create a bridge between different industry sectors to share knowledge and information, stimulating non-space companies to enter the space industry as well as leveraging space technologies for terrestrial applications. ‘Prepare for Space’ has been created to support UK companies in finding commercial opportunities in the space industry by providing dedicated business case development training, supply chain understanding, and routes to source funding for projects. This aspect of the project will also facilitate on-boarding for non-space companies into ESA programmes, providing information and training on ESA opportunities, technology transfer and calls.
