Can I participate to a parallel programme during the incubation period?

Yes, you can participate in a parallel programme during your incubation period at ESA BIC Andalusia, provided that certain conditions are met.
The primary requirement is that the ESA BIC Andalusia programme remains your main focus, and the parallel programme must be complementary, offering support not covered by the ESA BIC Andalusia.

You may engage in complementary initiatives—such as export programmes, accelerators, sector-specific boot-camps or other focused efforts (private or public, regional, national or international). However, the programme you join cannot be another incubator programme, and you cannot pause the ESA BIC Andalusia incubation to join another programme.

You must discuss your intention to join another programme with the ESA BIC at least two months before applying, ensuring that it won’t negatively affect your progress in the ESA BIC Andalusia incubation.

Additionally, you must present a plan demonstrating how you will manage both programmes without overlapping efforts or conflicts, and ensure that any additional funding does not exceed de-minimis limits.

For more details, please review the specific guidelines provided by ESA BIC Andalusia.
