The International Space University hosts a startup incubator on its central campus in Strasbourg, France, which is the ideal place to launch your space venture and benefit from multidisciplinary expertise in research and development, business, and finance.
This space offers a unique opportunity to connect with ISU faculty and guest speakers from academia, space agencies, and industry worldwide. Almost every day, you can engage in informal discussions with ISU students, and who knows, maybe with your future technological partners, clients, or employees!
The ISU Incubator supports space-related projects at every stage, from idea to market entry. It begins with an intensive three-month program focused on strengthening business plans, building compelling pitch decks, and providing initial administrative support for company creation. Startups then benefit from up to three years of tailored guidance covering research, development, strategic growth, and investor readiness. For ventures already in the pre-commercialization phase, the incubator offers accelerator-style support with targeted mentoring, commercial strategy advice, go-to-market planning, and international expansion opportunities, ensuring they are fully equipped to succeed in the global space ecosystem.
"Strasbourg was a natural choice for Prometheus: as a biotech company, we appreciate its location at the heart of the Rhine "BioValley" (a unique tri-national healthcare ecosystem in Europe) and its proximity to our headquarters in Switzerland. The region's world-renowned educational and research establishments, as well as the sites of renowned life sciences companies, are potential partners and customers for Prometheus.
Last but not least, Strasbourg is also home to the International Space University, a logical domicile for Prometheus as a space biotech company, of which I am an alumnus, lecturer and board member”Raphael Roettgen, Co-founder and CEO of Prometheus Life Technologies
