Calls

Objective

The objective of the EPIC Health from Space Competition is to spotlight European space start-ups and scale-ups using space technologies to address challenges in healthcare, public health, biomedical research and health system resilience. The competition encourage collaboration between space companies, healthcare actors, institutions and industry to turn space-enabled innovation into real-world impact. 

Prize

Selected companies will receive: 

• Sponsoring of 2000 EUR to attend the Health from Space Conference & Exhibition 2026 in Cannes. A maximum of 3 companies will be selected.
• Support from ESA to engage with potential partners, stakeholders and institutional actors.

The EUSPA Horizon Europe call for proposals HORIZON-EUSPA-2026-SPACE is now published and brings a collective investment of 15 million EUR.

The fourth EUSPA Call is structured in the following 2 topics.

Space Data Economy

The Space Data Economy (HORIZON-EUSPA-2026-SPACE-02-51) topic focuses on developing innovative applications that leverage Galileo, EGNOS and Copernicus data, specifically targeting four priority areas: 

1. clean energy solutions,
2. climate adaptation and environmental footprint reduction,
3. green financing and insurance services, and
4. the creation of liveable, sustainable cities.

Innovative space-based applications enhancing capabilities for a resilient Europe 

The Innovative space-based applications enhancing capabilities for a resilient Europe (HORIZON-EUSPA-2026-SPACE-02-52) topic aims to support the development of innovative applications that leverage Galileo, EGNOS and other EU Space Programme components, in particular Copernicus and/or GOVSATCOM, to strengthen Europe’s resilience through enhanced disaster risk management, efficient emergency response, critical infrastructure protection and secure, integrated crisis operations.

FIRST! has announced an Invitation to Tender (ITT) that aims to de-risk disruptive technologies related to simulation intelligence for future space transportation in Europe, with a high commercial interest. The objective is to reach TRL 4-5 by software verification in a relevant environment such as breadboard testing.

FIRST! is an initiative with ESA’s programme for future space transportation, FLPP. Its goals are to identify innovative and promising technology disruptors benefitting future European space transportation and to accelerate their derisking through rapid prototyping and testing.

Application is now open for the 7^th batch of EU’s leading acceleration programme designed to supercharge the commercial growth of space startups and scaleups. Get €75,000 in equity-free funding, expert support in sales and international expansion, and direct acces to top-tier growth investors. Join the upcoming Business Accelerator webinar and apply by 6 March.
