| The European Space Agency (ESA) is a key ordering customer for European industry. The bulk of the technology implemented to carry out the host of projects launched by ESA is elaborated by European industrial companies. |
| Communication systems, platforms for broadcasting multimedia content via satellite, as well as advanced electronics and precision mechanics are some examples of technologies developed by businesses answering the numerous calls for tenders and calls for proposals issued by ESA. |

|
After a 5-year collaboration as a Cooperating State via the ARTES (Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems) programs 1, 3, 5 and 8 of ESA, Luxembourg became a full-fledged member of the European Space Agency in 2005.
|
Luxembourg becoming a member of ESA enables companies and research centers to take part in numerous European space programs in various fields such as:
|
- Earth, Sun & Space observation;
- Development of satellites and new booster rockets;
- Implementation of telecommunication and satellite navigation systems.
|
Luxinnovation, as National Contact Point for the ESA, provides companies and research centres with information on how the ESA operates and the various approaches that can be adopted to its programmes. Luxinnovation can also offer advice and support to entrepreneurs and researchers willing to work with the European Space Agency.
