20 Years ESA BIC Anniversary Campaign

For the stimulation of entrepreneurs with business ideas that include space technology, the ESA Business Incubation Centres network (short: ESA BIC) was established.

To celebrate 20 years of the ESA BIC Network, a campaign was initiated and managed by Void & Visual, including:

• Interviews with startups to highlight their stories
• Event identity to capture the celebratory spirit and for promotion at congresses and events
• Recordings for podcast episodes with startup founders, partners of the Network, and the people working at the ESA BICs.

As of 2024, 1600+ start-ups have been supported covering upstream, downstream and technology/knowledge transfer startups initiatives. 

In collaboration with the Space Business Innovation Center Noordwijk (SBIC) and Amelie Finan.
