The International Space University (ISU), through its Startup Incubator, is pleased to announce the signing of a strategic partnership with ESA BIC Nord France, the European Space Agency’s business incubation centre dedicated to space startups and applications. This collaboration aims to reinforce synergies between entrepreneurship, research, and education within the European space sector.

Based in Strasbourg, the ISU is internationally recognized for its pivotal role in space education and innovation, bringing together students, researchers, and global experts around interdisciplinary projects. By joining the ESA BIC Nord France network, the ISU adds an academic and technological dimension to the innovation dynamics driven by the program.

This partnership reflects a shared ambition to foster the emergence of new space ventures, promote technology transfer from research, and strengthen cooperation among regional, national, and European space actors. It reinforces the mission of the ISU Incubator: supporting the growth of high-potential startups at the crossroads of space and other innovative industries.

With this integration, ISU joins a network of partner incubators across northern France, closely linked with local innovation ecosystems and institutional stakeholders such as CNES, ESA, regional technopoles, and incubators.
