Do space startups really need business incubators?

Popular definition states that the goal of a business incubator is to help firms develop, and improve their chances for success. What, however, does this mean in practice and to what extent are incubators responsible for mediating and facilitating this success?

In this panel discussion, our experts discuss differing priorities and how to best support space startups at different phases of their development, touching on topics such as market fit and sustainable growth.

If you’re interested in the dynamics between innovation, support structures and market validation, then don’t miss this chance to get the inside, expert scoop.

Panel guests:

• Karin Holmquist (Head of Innovation Programme Strategy at the Swedish Space Corporation)
• Frank Salzgeber (Head of Innovation and Ventures Office at the European Space Agency)
• Jens Lundström (CEO of Arctic Business and MD ESA BIC Sweden)
• Emma Hansson (Project Leader of ESA BIC Sweden)
