The ESA Business in Space Growth Network (BSGN) is at the forefront of creating a new commercial space ecosystem, aiming to expand industries beyond Earth, with a focus on Low Earth Orbit and even the Moon. As part of this initiative, ESA developed four specialised accelerators, including the BSGN Accelerator for AgriFood, operated by the Space Cooperative Europe (SCE). SCE plays a pivotal role in connecting space innovation with agricultural and food sectors, offering companies the opportunity to develop groundbreaking technologies that use space-based resources to solve pressing challenges on Earth.
The AgriFood accelerator led by SCE is instrumental in supporting European teams as they create revolutionary commercial products and services that enhance agricultural productivity, sustainability, and food security through space technologies. By leveraging the unique conditions of space, such as microgravity, SCE enables projects to explore new possibilities in areas like precision farming, bioproducts, and life sciences, pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved both in space and on Earth.

SCE’s involvement in the AgriFood accelerator not only fuels the development of innovative solutions but also underscores its commitment to fostering sustainable growth and collaboration. With its strategic role, SCE is helping shape the future of global agriculture, demonstrating how space exploration can address critical issues like climate change and food shortages, ultimately paving the way for a more resilient and prosperous future on Earth.
