I am not developing something for the space sector but for another sector— do I still qualify?

Your project may still qualify if its business model relies on data, services or technology derived from a space asset —i.e. if it cannot operate, or loses its competitive edge, without that asset. In any case, your space connection must deliver a clear advantage or innovation beyond existing non-space solutions.

To help you assess this, download and complete the Space Connection Assessment template included in the Open Call Application Pack. This document walks you through the key criteria —Downstream and Upstream connections— to demonstrate the validity and strength of your space link.
