SES, a leading satellite operator has recently launched SATLAS, a business incubator that aims to turn pioneering ideas from a variety of fields, including e-learning, energy, Fintech, resource management, smart cities, media, logistics, and many others, in to successful Satcom applications.
SATLAS will support entrepreneurs with innovative information and Communications Technology (ICT) services ideas which could benefit from satellite communications. This backing will support design, development and testing of their products, with both business and technical resources. The ultimate aim is that these ideas become viable Satcom solutions.
This project is co-funded under European Space Agency’s ARTES 3 – 4 SATCOM – APPS programme. The industrial consortiums partners, SES Techcom Services, Newtec and SatADSL will provide selected applications with access to resources and services including broadband platforms and terminals, hardware, software and technical assistance, and training. Through SATLAS, the innovators will be able to validate their ideas, running a test phase (pilot) with the support of SES Techcom and its partners.
