Swiss Space Policy &
Implementation Plan

• Guides Scientific,
Innovation, and Industrial
Policy
• Mandate for the Swiss
Space Office to implement
the policy with and through
ESA (ESA is our agency)
• Complemented with other,
targeted initiatives (e.g.
bilateral cooperation, other
institutional engagements)

The early years(2009-2012)
Baby-steps to test the approach
(2009-2012)

~ 9 Projects
11 Entities

90% Newcomers
Strong involvement of
various Satellite Services

Very diverse type of
projects / areas
Strong investment

Examples of activities (Sample)
Law enforcementElectronic Offender
Monitoringproviding secure, reliable and precise positioning
and surveillance means worldwide
Examples of activities (Sample)
Sea Searchthe development of an added value service
designed for maritime surveillance based on
mobile phone detection and identification of
suspect vessels using AIS and EO imaging
Maritime Security
and Surveillance
Examples of activities (Sample)
Real Time Cargo Monitoringintegrating satellite communications, SAT-AIS with
a custom for advanced, real-time monitoring of
assets and shipments
Transport and
Logistics
Examples of activities (Sample)
Precision Farming Serviceintegrating satellite communications, a custom
long-endurance solar-powered autonomous UAV
and custom hyperspectral camera technology

LearningsTypes of Activities,
Growth and Leverage
Types of activities
Consultancywith an entity
providing user or
expert input, but
not participating in
service exploitation
“Pure” Serviceusing only “off the
shelf” technology or
other components
sourced from third-
parties
Hybrid Techwith unique
technology
components
leveraged by the
service
70%of funded activities
are “hybrid” leveraging unique
technology components
with the service
91%of activities by
start-ups are
“hybrid” activities36%of activities by SME’s
are “hybrid” activities
100xrevenue unlockedthrough the results of
another 250 kEUR
activity (Swiss share)
5 MEURacquisition offerto a company (partly) based
on results created through
their 250 kEUR ESA activity
33%of the growth in
newcomers was generated by
downstream services
initiatives
1%of our budget was needed for that
part of growth
Operatorsactively involved and
investing in downstream
services projects play a
role as “Service
Incubator”, tooand they provide a very valuable
complement to the emerging
institutional ecosystem
50%co-funding is a
challengeespecially for start-ups
and to a lesser extent
SMEs
Great Ideas are increasingly hard to find
with the current toolsand usually don’t turn up at doorsteps
overnight..
Moneyis an issue especially for the
co-funding
requested from
start-ups
Ideasare hard
to findthe great
ones don’t
show up on
your doorstep
overnight
The most important learnings
Most promisingare start-ups with
“hybrid” projectsthat provide unique value and
hence unique opportunities.
What’s next?Where to take the emerging
ecosystem from here?
Pushing the
boundaries(2016 onwards)

outside Switzerland as
well)

Objectives of ESA BIC Switzerland, in a nutshell
• Public-private partnership
with mutual benefits
• State as risk-taker, covering
significant amount of seed
funding
• Funding model with a mix of
grants/equity (for the
incubator)
• A truly Swiss solution (and
not only for one of our 26
cantons)
