What is the ESA InCubed Programme
InCubed – Investing in Industrial Innovation – is a co-funding programme by the European Space Agency (ESA), managed by Φ-lab, designed to co-finance the development of innovative, commercially viable Earth Observation (EO) products and services.
The goal of InCubed is to accelerate the journey from idea to market by supporting high-potential business concepts that use satellite data to deliver concrete solutions in areas such as environment, agriculture, energy, urban development, logistics, security, and more.
