Qkera
Qkera is a material producer developing battery components as a key platform technology with no compromise on performance, manufacturability and cost – truly unlocking next-generation batteries for mass market applications.
Muniqo Performante
Muniqo Performante develops an innovative anti-vibration system for the storage of sensitive components in satellites or rockets.
PowerIn Space
PowerIn Space revolutionizes energy access for aerospace and remote exploration with wireless, laser-based power systems.
Project-S
The growing space debris problem, especially 1–10 cm fragments, threatens satellites and missions, with over 900,000 objects in orbit. Traditional ground-based and optical tracking is limited by atmosphere, line-of-sight, and darkness. Project-S tackles this with an AI-driven, radar-based CubeSat system. Its active microwave radar detects small debris in all conditions, while AI onboard and deep learning on the ground provide real-time, accurate tracking.
LEAM Technologies
Using Light to Enable Additive Manufacturing for the most challenging applications.
Salutes Space
Intelligent computing system with novel Robot-on-Chip technology for autonomous operations in space and on Earth.
ExoMatter
ExoMatter helps companies find the ideal materials for their applications by replacing trial and error with data. Our software platform leverages scientific simulations and Machine Learning in order to suggest materials candidates. The platform is currently in use by customers such as Airbus, Infineon or BSH. Within ESA BIC, we are prototyping applications in the space industry in order to enter this market.
Hypersonica
Hypersonica will focus their efforts on developing a viable hypersonic flight geometry which will fit the needs of glide and cruise applications for hypersonic planes. During the incubation period, Hypersonica aims to lie the foundation of our flight geometry, but we will not be able to present a finished product and therefore anticipate demonstrating an initial geometry in hypersonic flow.
Aatral ESP
Aatral ESP is breaking the lithium monopoly with patented Sodium-ion battery technology, using abundant sodium and Nasicon-based cathodes to deliver safer, more stable, and cost-effective energy storage. Our batteries target high-demand sectors from renewable grid storage to space applications, offering longer cycle life, easier manufacturing, and enhanced safety compared to conventional solutions. With a skilled founding team and IP-backed innovation, we aim to scale from R&D to mass production and become a leading player in the global energy storage market.
