ESA’s initiative for disruptive technology maturation in space transportation, FIRST!, is hosting a Pitch Day on Simulation & Intelligence. The event follows the recent FIRST! Simulation & Intelligence Call for Ideas and will lead into the upcoming Invitation to Tender (ITT).

What to expect

Join a collaborative virtual event where Europe’s space transportation community – including primes, SMEs, technology providers, and potential partners – will connect and exchange ideas before the launch of the Simulation & Intelligence ITT.

During the event, you’ll:

• hear short pitches from organisations that responded to the Call for Ideas, showcasing concepts in areas such as data-driven design, smart manufacturing and testing, and on-board and embodied intelligence for space transportation
• explore how these pitches align with different aspects of the Simulation & Intelligence theme, helping identify complementary roles and potential collaborators
• gain early insight into the upcoming Simulation & Intelligence ITT, with an overview presented just before its release

The FIRST! Simulation & Intelligence Pitch Day offers a chance to:

• contribute to the development of simulation & intelligence technologies for future space transportation

• connect with service providers, technology developers, and investors.

• understand the structure and opportunities of the Simulation & Intelligence ITT

Who can join

The event welcomes professionals from companies across ESA Member States, including technology providers, space transportation service providers, research centres & universities, and investors. Registrations will be reviewed to confirm participation.
