Space related innovations from the Netherlands have been making the news during October. There was NL Space Week and NSO made recommendations about Dutch contributions to ESA. The ESA BIC incubatees and alumni have also been gaining exposure this month.
Arceon’s space trajectory has seen the team go from strength to strength with multiple ESA contracts, collaborations and funding rounds. CEO Rahul Shirke shares the startup’s journey since graduating from ESA BIC.
