The initiative focuses on the commercialisation of digital tools driving future space missions, with €75,000 in funding as prize.
The European Space Agency announced the launch of PUSH 2025, the third edition of its Programme for USerbase enHancement (PUSH) contest, a commercialisation initiative designed to support emerging European space technologies transition from innovation to market adoption.
Following the demonstrated success of the 2023 and 2024 editions, PUSH 2025 continues ESA’s mission to strengthen Europe’s space ecosystem.
PUSH 2025 focuses on the commercialisation of digital tools driving future space missions, targeting two key domains:
High-Performance & Edge Computing: AI-enabled systems for space system development & testing, onboard autonomy and mission-critical processing at the edge.
Simulations & Digital Twin Environments: platforms for mission design, orbital and system dynamics modelling, trade-off analysis, product definition, interfaces, risk and programmatic assessments, up to operations.
Selected companies will each receive €75,000 in funding to advance their solution and access new markets. Further details follow the application link.
If your company is working on digital tools to support next-generation space missions, PUSH 2025 offers the support and heads-up to take your innovation to the next level (market).
Applications are now open until 23 June 2025 at 13:00 CEST.
