ESA as a funding agency for developm ent

• f integrated solutions
• Most people think of ESA (if at all) in terms of activities in space – but

much of our focus is on activities right here on earth much of our focus is on activities right here on earth

• ESA has several quite flexible programmes to support the development
• f new products, services and applications
• Typically these provide 50% funding (100% in some cases)
• Typically these provide 50% funding (100% in some cases)
• The most popular is the Integrated Applications Programme (IAP)
• Our aim is to develop solutions to real customer needs, leading to

sustainable products and services
