Location ESRIN, Frascati, Italy

Our team and missionYou will work in the Invest Office of the ? -lab Division, within the Directorate of Earth Observation Programmes (EOP).

The Invest Office focuses on Earth Observation commercial aspects and oversees investment in industrial innovation within the commercial Earth Observation domain.

F-lab manages the ESA Investing in Industrial Innovation (InCubed) programme.

While institutional and private European space actors have so far created a flourishing Earth Observation sector in Earth science, meteorology, environmental and security monitoring, the Earth Observation market is undergoing a rapid transition, with new implementation approaches (e. g.

constellation of micro-satellites, vertical integration of spaceborne with non-spaceborne data), new industrial players (e. g.

IT companies) and new funding models (e. g.

PPP, venture capital).

It is crucial for Europe to adapt to this rapidly evolving market and seize the opportunities it provides.

F-lab is designed as an open working environment bringing together ESA staff and external space and non-space actors, innovators, data scientists, and investors on a permanent or temporary basis.
