Observations on firms creation
■ Situation for Southern France
• Numerous plans of actions and structures for supporting generalist firms
creation, but no specific animation for the Space sector
• The largest research potential for research in the field of space applications in
Europe
• The first industrial area in Europe for space infrastructures
• Presence of CNES in Toulouse
• Presence of 2 aerospace clusters: Aerospace Valley (worldwide cluster) &
Pegase
• Less than 4 firms created each year in Midi-Pyrénées and Aquitaine
• Poor number of creation from PhD or masters

■ Assessment for firms creation in the field of space applications
• Less than 4 firms created each year in Midi-Pyrénées and Aquitaine
• Poor number of creation from PhD or Engineer
• No real dedicated mechanism for new space companies

A particular context for Space
■ New paradigms for space
• Galileo/EGNOS operational deployment
• Copernicus data available for free
• Coupling of satellite data and open date
• Wishes for technological transfer from space to non space
• Many Phd and engineer in these fields

Interest for the sector
■ To allow swarming French firms reinforcing their financial assets
• Through a grant of 50K€ (25K€ from ESA) combined with a loan or personal
assets of 50 k€
• Through in kind support from CNES, ESA, supporting structures and other
partners
• Through a “selected project” label delivered by the ESA BIC, permitting the
access to other types of funding (eg. Open Sky Technology Fund)
7
Interest for the sector
■ To coordinate the different structures dealing with the support to
firms creation
■ To stimulate firms creation using space technologies, applications
and services in « non space » markets
■ Objective: creation of 15 firms/year

■ Induced jobs have to be added to direct ones
■ Thanks to its structure, the ESA BIC Sud France will be in a position
to promote gatherings of start-ups according to the detection of
potential larger companies
