TALLINN – Tallinn will continue to support the incubation of starting space companies in the Tallinn Science Park Tehnopol, contributing to the European Space Agency (ESA) business incubator for 2022-2025; over the four years, the city will contribute 200,000 euros.
The Tallinn city government decided to support two companies being developed in the space agency's business incubator every year, spokespeople for the city government said.
Tallinn Deputy Mayor Aivar Riisalu said that space systems and ground-based applications of space technologies play an important role in our daily lives. "Major space-related applications include satellite communications, terrestrial remote sensing, satellite television, weather forecasting, even intelligent security and transport systems, and location-based services," Riisalu said in a press release.
