What they do

European Space Resources Innovation Centre (ESRIC) is an innovation centre based in Luxembourg dedicated entirely to space resources. Launched in 2020, it is an initiative of the Luxembourg Space Agency and the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology, in strategic partnership with the European Space Agency. ESRIC serves as a hub where technologies, businesses, and people meet to drive the future use of space resources.

What they look for

Designed for DeepTech and SpaceTech innovators, it helps early-stage ventures validate their technology, build a solid business case and connect with customers along the emerging in-situ resource utilisation (ISRU) value chain from Earth to orbit and onwards to the Moon. Through SSP, ESRIC supports the development of solutions that will underpin a sustainable in-space economy while creating tangible terrestrial benefits in sectors such as mining, manufacturing, energy, agriculture and more.
