Description
In cooperation with Fraunhofer AVIATION & SPACE, ZENIT and partner organizations of the Enterprise Europe Network are organizing for the second time an international technology workshop for start-ups and young companies in the context of Space Tech Expo 2023.
Under the title "Fraunhofer Space Community Workshop ", the workshop aims to identify the technology needs ("Technology Gaps") of start-ups and SMEs, and the technical hurdles on the path to market maturity of their products and services. The goal is to foster networking with the Fraunhofer institutes and, ideally, to collaborate on project ideas and submit applications to relevant funding programs (e.g. Innospace Masters, ESA/DLR, Horizon Europe, etc.).
The workshop will take place the day before the opening of Space Tech Expo 2023, allowing companies to combine their visit to the trade fair with participation in the workshop. After the workshop, an in-depth exchange on project ideas can take place during the trade fair.
Fraunhofer AVIATION & SPACE is an association of more than 30 institutes of the Fraunhofer society that conduct applied research in the field of aerospace. The Fraunhofer Society has set itself the task of supporting the commercial use of new technologies. This is done by providing companies with the necessary expertise and infrastructure required to develop such technologies to market maturity.
The workshop will consist of both general sessions and parallel sessions covering several key topics:
Session 1: AI for Space Applications
Session 2: Small Scale Satellites
Session 3: Space Robotics / Space Debris
Session 4: Satellite Communications
Session 5: 3D Printing in Space/on the moon & Micro Launcher
During the workshop, each start-up or SME should briefly present their technological challenges in the context of an elevator pitch and, if possible, also identify suitable funding programs.
Target group: Participation is possible not just for Space start-ups and SMEs, but also for companies from other industries who consider their products or services applicable in the space sector, and that would like to present their technical challenges. All start-ups should have a product or service that is not yet ready for the market (usually TRL 3). The goal of a cooperation with Fraunhofer should be to develop the solution up to TRL 7 or 8.
