Space accelerator as a key for market enhancement

The SPARK ME service aims at developing an acceleration programme to attract, support and validate new application and service ideas using Satcom in association with additional space technologies. SPARK ME proposes the creation of two Technological Accelerators in Matera (Italy) and Nairobi (Kenya), fostering technology transfer and capacity building activities to facilitate the use of space technologies for Commercial applications (products and/or services). The Competence Centers will support innovative ideas with high potential improving territorial economic development and growth. The SPARK ME Acceleration programme is devoted to innovators/start-ups/researchers willing to accelerate innovative ideas and support the business through the use of space technologies.
