2. 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 2

3. Observations on firms creation • 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 3

4. 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 4

5. The ESA BIC Plan of Actions • Program objectives • BIC: Business Incubation Centre • Support to the creation of start up companies • Support to the development of young companies (up to 5 years old maximum) • Development of downstream applications of space systems • Transfer of space technologies to other sectors • Program implementation status • 9 ESA BIC already exist (cf. http://www.esa.int/bic) 5

6. ESA BIC 6

7. 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

8. 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 8

9. Interest for the sector Predictions of activity generated by the ESA BIC Sud France (based on statistics of the Business incubation programme of ESA, Alumni Report 2010) • 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 9

10. The markets 10 • Oceanography • Agriculture • E-health • Consumer markets • ICT Services • Automotive and land transports
