LIFE SCIENCESINDUSTRY ACCELERATOR
The BSGN Life Sciences Industry Accelerator aims to engage new players from biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, supporting projects that tackle terrestrial challenges through the unique advantages of the space environment combined with European commercial space-based platforms in Low Earth Orbit. It fosters collaboration with the commercial space ecosystem, encourages the development of high-potential commercial activities, and seeks to attract new sources of funding beyond ESA.
CALL FOR PROPOSALS: COMING SOON
A new call for projects will be launched in the second quarter of 2025. It will aim to select new projects in life sciences. The details of this call are currently being developed.
The call will be published via the OSIP platform.
FOCUS AREAS
Leverage the unique conditions of space to fast-track research, development, and biomanufacturing in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.
From early-stage innovation to advanced product applications, life sciences industries can harness space-based opportunities to drive breakthroughs at every stage of development.
BENEFITS OF MICROGRAVITY FOR YOUR R&D
At reduced levels of gravity, the biological, chemical and physical processes change.
The space environment allows to re-discover materials and properties, improve understanding of processes and interaction of substances, build complex 3D materials, and to create new and more accurate data models.
You can use these insights to develop new materials and improve processes for products that can be used on Earth. Find out concrete examples on the life sciences page.
