“If Sweden is to grow as a society and as a space nation, we must encourage people to take the leap into entrepreneurship within the space industry,” says Linda Lyckman from SSC - Swedish Space Corporation, one of ESA BIC Sweden's partners.
What’s happening at SSC right now?
"We continue to focus heavily on developing our space base, Esrange, and enhancing our future capability to offer space services such as rocket testing and satellite launches. We look forward to the new partnerships and customer relationships we can build through these services and also hope that new players in the space industry will benefit from this initiative."
Why do you believe space startups are important?
"If Sweden is to grow as a society and as a space nation, we must encourage people to take the leap into entrepreneurship within the space industry. SSC has extensive experience and solid knowledge of the space sector, and naturally, we want to see more players emerging within the Swedish space industry. This benefits SSC, the industry, and Sweden as a nation. At SSC, we see it as both a natural and important role to support space startups."
Why do you choose to partner with ESA BIC Sweden?
"SSC is always looking for interesting collaboration partners. Through ESA BIC Sweden, SSC has a fantastic platform to engage with tomorrow’s space stars. ESA BIC Sweden provides SSC with a unique insight into the innovation potential that exists in Sweden. It also allows us to expand our network, which we hope will benefit both SSC's growth and the space industry and business sector at large."
