Abstract
ESA Phi Lab Austria focus on ideas related to the industrialization of innovative upstream hardware and software. We combine the opportunity of growing new space with the local strength of “industrialization” to address the problem of serial production. we support the projects through tailored, hands-on assistance in the areas of business development, technology, intellectual property (IP), and sustainability. Our team works closely with each project to develop customized strategies that support the industrialization focus. This holistic approach ensures that innovative concepts are not only technically feasible but also commercially viable and future-proof.
Together with other companies, we are setting up a space hub at Vienna Airport and, as the first of many Phi Labs in Europe, we can draw on a broad network with different competencies in the ESA Phi-LabNET.
