CLOSE COOPERATION RESULTS IN GLOBAL SPACE PROJECTS 

"The intersection of increasing know-how with the growing capabilities of the Czech space industry has brought about a revolutionary change in local activities. Now, we have a scientific and technological hotbed in a traditionally industrialised country that does not just want to participate in space missions but to design and implement them itself."
 

Petr Brož, Department of Geodynamics, Institute of Geophysics of the Czech Academy of Sciences 

BRNO SPACE CLUSTER

The first cluster in the Czech Republic focused on commercial space was established in 2019. It brings together more than 20 entities from companies and research institutes, mainly from the South Moravian Region. Its members, as well as the cluster itself, successfully participate in European Space Agency projects. In addition to business, it also deals with the popularisation of space technologies and education. 

Main activities:

  • Engineering services and cooperation on space projects. 

  • Connecting companies collaborating on space projects and creating their own products – commercial and scientific. 

  • Popularisation and education – for example, the cluster initiated the Space Applications study programme at the Brno University of Technology. 

Experience:

  • Project implementation for ESA, ArianeGroup, OHB, Avio, Leonardo and other significant players in the space industry. 

  • The cluster, as an independent entity, submits bids to international tenders.
