Develop the space sector with AI and edge learning through ESA Phi-Lab Sweden

Planned for MAR 2026

As the global space economy grows, Europe´s need for independent access to space and technologies connected to the area grows. In this call, we want to finance disruptive and innovative projects that use AI and edge learning technology to develop solutions that develop the Swedish space sector. A ´call for ideas´ is underway in February, which lays the foundation for the focus of the call.
