Down to earth problems. Out of this world solutions.

ESA BIC Estonia has been an important partner for Antscape throughout our early-stage development. Beyond the financial support, the programme has provided credibility, access to a strong network, and a supportive environment in which to develop our business. I would particularly like to acknowledge Sven Lilla for his practical advice, honest feedback, and genuine willingness to help. Sven has consistently been available to discuss challenges, provide perspective, and connect us with the right people when needed. His support has extended well beyond what one would normally expect from a programme manager or mentor. For Antscape, ESA BIC Estonia has been much more than an incubation programme. It has been a trusted partner on our growth journey, and we are grateful for the opportunity to be part of the ESA BIC community.

The European Space Agency's accelerator program opened the doors for us to interact with the best experts in the field and provided the necessary support to integrate the system with space communications, allowing us to take our solution to a new level. The program also supported us in mapping the next steps on how to support product and business development within the framework of subsequent programs.

For us joining ESA BIC was a gamechanger, not only has it been the only truly worthwhile incubator throughout the years, but it allowed us to develop our IP portfolio and submit our first patent alongside our longer vision. For a company that didn't even consider themselves to be SpaceTech we've had another tremendous milestone by actually being the first ESA BIC incubatee to enter into direct negotiations with ESA, win a tender and since that together with continuous support develop our business lines, network and know-how. All of that from a single conversation at the famous sTARTUp Day Tartu event (thanks Sven!).

Being part of the ESA BIC in Estonia was an invaluable experience for Skudo. We highly recommend ESA BIC to any aspiring space-related business venture. The program not only accelerates technological advancements but also offers a unique platform for networking and growth. Our time at ESA BIC was undoubtedly a key contributor to our success, and we are immensely grateful for the opportunity and the positive impact it has had on our journey.
