ESA InCubed Ambassador Italy annual event in Rome highlights cross-sector collaboration for Earth observation innovation

The European Space Agency (ESA), through its InCubed Ambassador for Italy powered by STAM, brought together key stakeholders in Rome for the annual event “Co-create. Connect. Innovate. – Shaping new project ideas between space & non-space industries”.

The event aimed to foster collaboration between Earth observation (EO) actors and non-space sectors, supporting the development of commercially viable solutions by aligning technological capabilities with market needs and industrial challenges.

InCubed stands for ‘Investing in Industrial Innovation’ and is an ESA co-funding programme, managed by Φ-lab, that supports the development of innovative and commercially viable EO products and services, with the objective of accelerating their path to market. In this context, the ESA InCubed Ambassador Italy initiative, powered by STAM, promotes access to the programme and supports companies, research centres and startups in identifying opportunities, shaping business cases, and preparing high-impact proposals.
