Celebrating 10 Years of ESA BICs in Spain: A Dynamic Showcase of Space Entrepreneurship


Aniel Jardines and round table participants at the event

Last week AI METHODS was in the Parc Mediterrani de la Tecnologia in Castelldefels, Barcelona, attending the 10th anniversary of ESA Business Incubation Centres (ESA BICs) in Spain. Organized by the Spanish Space Agency (Agencia Espacial Española) in collaboration with ESA BIC Barcelona, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), and the Institut d'Estudis Espacials de Catalunya (IEEC), the event brought together visionaries and stakeholders to explore Spain’s thriving ESA BIC ecosystem and its critical role in fostering space-sector entrepreneurship.


The celebration included a workshop dedicated to entrepreneurship in the space sector, offering valuable insights into the opportunities and challenges of turning innovative ideas into successful businesses. A major highlight was the panel discussions featuring representatives from ESA BICs across Spain, where participants shared success stories, exchanged best practices, and emphasized the transformative potential of these programs in supporting space-tech startups.


Carlos Romero Moreno from ESA BIC Madrid Region and Fundación para el Conocimiento madri+d represented the Madrid region in the panel, "ESA BIC Opportunities for Space Entrepreneurship and Success Stories." He was joined by ESA BIC program managers and industry experts from other regions.


The event also spotlighted companies under the ESA BIC umbrella. Notably, Léa D. from Anzen Engineering and Aniel Jardines from AI METHODS, two beneficiaries of ESA BIC Madrid Region, joined a case-study session moderated by Carlos Romero. They shared the stage with Teresa Domènech Abelló of TracksCO2, Javier Duro of DARES TECHNOLOGY, and Carlos García Flórez of Invicsa Airtech, creating an inspiring dialogue on overcoming challenges and seizing opportunities.


Our thanks go to Carlos Romero Moreno from the ESA BIC Madrid Region - Fundación para el conocimiento Madi+d for inviting us to the event. We’re proud to be part of this dynamic ecosystem and to contribute to the shared vision of a thriving space industry in Spain.
