- space-related business applications and services
- products based on space capabilities for terrestrial use

- generating interest among potential user and stakeholder communities in using the satellite infrastructure for space applications and services on a local, European and global scale
- mobilising space and non-space networks that may benefit from funding and support
- supporting businesses through the ESA BASS application process
- providing high-quality business consultancy to companies intending to apply to BASS and other ESA programmes
