The ESA Business Incubation Centre Switzerland (ESA BIC Switzerland) is a nationwide initiative that opened in 2016, powered by the European Space Agency (ESA) and one of the world’s leading universities: ETH Zurich. The program offers broad support packages to entrepreneurs and young start-ups for exploiting space systems or technologies to develop their non-space business on earth or using a technology from earth for an application related to space. So, that doesn’t always mean rocket science, but applies to multiple application fields such as navigation and positioning, communication techniques, earth observation, materials, processes, signals or robotics. Our extensive partner network will provide you access to networking relevant to your market, offers technical and business support, and will help you find potential investors. ESA BIC Switzerland is collaborating with VentureLab, Impact Hub Zurich, VentureKick and AP-Swiss. 20 ESA BICs exist all over Europe and have supported 663 startups thus far.

💡 Are you anticipating weather extremes? ⛈ Seasonal forecasting is crucial for assessing business continuity risks, as weather events and climate hazards can significantly affect and disrupt operations across industries. They can have strong impacts on communities and people, while also leading to bottlenecks in supply chains, site damages, loss of resources, and increased operational costs. ✅ At Correntics, in addition to assessing long-term climate risks, we provide state-of-the-art seasonal forecasts for temperature, precipitation, and windspeed anomalies. Those forecasts look ahead up to four months, and are based on past ensembles of data from observed states of the climate system. 🚨 Ongoing situation: South Asia is currently subject to torrential rainfall and flooding, with terrible human consequences and disruptions in business operations in various sectors. Seasonal forecasting can be of great help in the assessment, preparation and mitigation of such extreme weather events. Follow the Correntics page to stay up to date on climate risks and seasonal forecasts, and visit our website for a glimpse into our climate risk analytics platform 🌐 #forecasting #weatherextreme #climaterisk #riskmanagement

Thank you Swissnex in India, Consulate General of Switzerland for the good collaboration and partnership and for hosting the very worthwhile visit and exchange. Another big thank you to ISRO - Indian Space Research Organization and the Indian Space Startup scene for dedicating the time to meet and discuss with us. The first bonds with India are made now and our #startups Kido Dynamics and Menhir Photonics and our team, represented by Michael Gschweitl came back with valuable insights into the Indian #space landscape and good connections made. We look forward to further collaboration.
𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝: 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤 2024 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐰𝐫𝐚𝐩! With a visit to the #India Space Congress and the Indian Institute of Technology in Delhi, the Indo-Swiss Space Week 2024 concluded its official agenda. The Delhi leg marked the second part of the one-week in-person program. It enabled the Swiss Space delegation to converse with the broader Indian space industry and identify partners for Indo-Swiss collaborations. In the inaugural session of the India Space Congress 2024, the Deputy Head of Mission Olivier Fink from the Embassy of Switzerland to India and Bhutan presented Switzerland’s long-lasting history in space and its contribution to missions around the globe. Both countries enjoy a historical friendship and scientific exchange. Both nation’s strengths in space research and innovation lay fertile ground for extended public and private partnerships. As a country partner to the India Space Congress, we hosted a session to promote Switzerland as a space nation and showcased Swiss innovations for the Indian market. Over the past week, an intense calendar provided the visitors with a comprehensive overview and a deeper understanding of the latest trends in the Indian space research and innovation industry and the spacetech market. Impressed by India’s public and private competencies in space as well as the opportunities and openness for tighter bilateral relations, the delegation members have now defined the next steps for their individual ambitions within India. We as Swissnex in India, with our program partner ESA BIC Switzerland, are proud to have planted seeds for a continued space-related exchange among startups, academic institutions and government agencies. We are excited to keep you posted on the long-term outcomes of this week and all things brewing in the Indo-Swiss relationship related to space! So, stay tuned… Innosuisse, Adrien Mérillat Edgar Fernandes, Menhir Photonics Alberto Hernando de Castro, Kido Dynamics Agnes Chan, PhD, Re CAE Michael Gschweitl, ESA BIC Switzerland , ETH Zürich | Space Oliver Dörr, Microsoft Stéphane Paltani, Université de Genève Rafael Pennese, CSEM #Switzerland #Innovation #SwitzerlandIndia #India #Space #Newspace #InvestIndia
