■ 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 Observations on firms creation 2

■ 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 Observations on firms creation 3

■ 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 A particular context for Space 4

■ 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. The ESA BIC Plan of Actions 5

ESA BIC 6

■ 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) Interest for the sector 7

■ 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

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

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