After signing the contract and setting a kickoff date, your incubation journey begins. You receive funding of €50,000, split into €25,000 from ESA and €25,000 from Baden-Württemberg. ESA pays out the first €10,000 after the contract is signed and the first project milestone is submitted. Upon a successful midterm review, the second €10,000 is released, and the final €5,000 is paid after successfully completing the final review.
The funding from Baden-Württemberg works differently. Startups can submit invoices and payment proofs at any time during incubation, and the money is reimbursed within one to two weeks.
Throughout the process, you receive business and financial support through our partner network, tailored to your specific needs.
