The project proposal must be submitted by (a team part of) a legal entity or a consortium of legal entities.

The idea must have a valid space connection. For Phi-Lab Netherlands, the focus will be on the exploitation of space technology, use of knowledge from the space domain, or utilisation of space systems and space-based services in non-space domains (spin-off).

The proposed idea should be based on solid research-driven evidence, should be disruptive, and should have high potential for socio-economic impact. Your team should be able to show evidence that the project will deliver a technological game-changer or address a pressing need that would facilitate the future market adoption.

We will also consider strong proposals for products or services for the space sector, addressing any part of the space value chain (from components to entirely new space systems or related facilities and services) and any related activity (from concept definition to operation), possibly using non-space technology (spin-in).
