CASSINI Challenges 2024-2025: Innovate with Space

The CASSINI Challenges, by the European Union Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA), foster innovation through space technologies to tackle social, commercial, and environmental challenges. The 2024-2025 edition, themed “Make it with Space,” offers over €1 million in prizes across three competition tracks:

• Idea Track (€10,000): For early-stage concepts addressing a specific problem.
• Prototype Track (€30,000): For tested prototypes or beta solutions.
• Product Track (€100,000): For market-ready or commercialised products.

Submissions must leverage EU space technologies like Galileo, Copernicus, or satellite communications and will be evaluated for innovation, scalability, and alignment with the European space industry’s goals.

Deadlines:

• Idea/Prototype Tracks: February 14, 2025
• Product Track: March 24, 2025

Participants can benefit from webinars and insights shared by EUSPA and past winners. Visit euspa.europa.eu to apply and join the mission to drive Europe’s space sector forward.
