The European Space Agency is inviting industrial players to propose commercially-driven ideas
regarding the Utilisation of Human Spaceflight Technologies. We are looking for ideas from the
following core themes, though, other themes are welcome as well:

Successful ideas are leading to new products and sustainable services for public and/or private use,
creating new businesses and commercial opportunities.

This Call for Ideas is specifically welcoming non-space actors who are not familiar with space systems
or have only little knowledge. Industrial players are encouraged to apply as consortium together with
partners from academia and research institutions.
