ESA is open for business

During COVID-19, business continuity was maintained even as the vast majority of administrative work, including finance, legal, contracts and procurement, was done remotely. ESA has some 4 800 contracts with industry, so we committed to ensure payments were made on time and even ahead of due date.

To boost commercialisation in the European space sector, ESA and its partners need to evolve, focusing on three key ingredients: talent, access to capital, and fast innovation. ESA will also appoint for the first time a Head of Commercialisation Department later in 2021.
