Go2Space-HUBs | Generating new sOlutions 2 and from Space through effective local start-up HUBs

Summary
The objective of the Go2Space-HUBs proposal is to secure the creation and up-scaling of European businesses, offering technology and services in and from the space-sector, ensuring value creation and innovation through cross-fertilization, training and locally owned and driven networks and initiatives that connect effectively with existing EU initiatives.
This will be achieved through the creation of 3 new Space Hubs in Madrid, Tallinn & Coimbra strengthening local entrepreneurship/business ecosystems & networks. The 6 consortia partners represent key players in the local and regional start-up ecosystem. The 3 new HUBs have extensive experience in providing support to start-ups and will be supported by entities that are: experts on investor readiness & access to finance services; technology transfer, in addition to an aerospace cluster representing SMEs from all the relevant space-segments.
The project responds effectively to the work programme by including a range of new local initiatives for entrepreneurs, start-ups, scale-ups and SMEs, building bridges to EU activities, and designed to secure the creation of new start-ups & to help start-ups and scale-ups grow. The uniqueness of GO2Space HUBs relies upon a process through 4 phases: AWARENESS, SUPPORT, SCALE AND SUSTAINABILITY.
Go2Space HUBs includes: Incubation of 20 entrepreneurs/early stage start-ups; acceleration of 20 established start-ups/scale-up; Demo-Days to present their solutions to Investors and partners; Innovations Days; B2B events to facilitate spinning-in/-out; Organization of Hackathons; Joint-applications to the Copernicus incubator; An “Up-scaling engine” to help a range of local scale-ups and SMEs secure more efficient growth, introduction to existing space recourses; identifications of barriers to investments in space; Targeted training on access to private and public finance & Final Investment & Partnering event with participants from all the 3 HUBs.
