Take action to take part
The SBIC Demo Day will be a fantastic opportunity for the thriving community of space industry professionals to get together with the like-minded entrepreneurs and innovators within the SBIC Noordwijk network to gain insights into the latest space tech innovations being developed. It is an event that will showcase the vibrant atmosphere at our location where the tech startups are at the very heart.
Interact with the space business community
All the various programmes that have a base at the SBIC space business hub and co-working space will see participants invited on-stage to pitch their innovations. In the first session, you can get to know the founders from the current cohort of incubated ESA BIC Noordwijk startups, ESA Phi-Lab NL team members and representatives from SBIC’s Soft Landing programme.
In the second session, there will be an opportunity to hear presentations from ESA BIC alumni, coaches and SBIC partners, as well as a case from the ESA Technology Broker NL. Established companies and experts will share experiences and take a moment in the spotlight to showcase their products and services.
Following the pitches, there will be valuable matchmaking opportunities, combined with a networking session. This is the chance to meet with the other attendees in the audience – including coaches, investors and all the other SBIC community members.
Why is Demo Day important for the SBIC community?
This first Demo Day is expected to become a vital event in the calendar for all the ambitious entrepreneurs who have a base at SBIC. We hope it will also be a catalyst for new encounters and the success of this unique event will be guaranteed through the involvement of the entire SBIC community.

“A moment to bring different journeys together, from ESA BIC startups to participants from the programmes Soft Landing, ESA Phi-Lab NL and ESA Technology Broker NL and to our partners, coaches and community members,” says Martijn Leinweber (SBIC COO). “The SBIC Demo Day is a great opportunity to see what’s being developed within our community and to (re)connect with the people behind the work. With so many founders, alumni, investors, experts and partners in the room, it promises to be a valuable event.”
