LocationESA - ESEC Redu
The ESA Acceleration Days, are an initiative by the European Space Agency supported by Sopra Steria Belgium. Modelled after fast-paced competition formats such as hackathons and innovation sprints, these in-person events bring together top teams to advance space innovation and address Europe’s most pressing issues.
One of the upcoming events is an innovation sprint on ‘Accelerate Crisis Preparedness’, which will take place from June 30 to July 4, 2025, at the ESA ESEC site in Redu, Belgium. The event is open to SMEs, startups, industry players from ESA Member States. Call-out to innovators to harness the power of space – from satellite navigation and communications to geospatial intelligence – for mass evacuation preparedness, starting from a concrete use case: the mass evacuation of a stadium affected by a crisis. In co-design with ESA, Safe.Brussels, and the Police of Brussels South, this 5-day sprint aims to foster the creation of bold, user-driven and AI-powered solutions that enhance crowd management and mass evacuation in case of emergency or crisis.
Applications are now open until 9 June 2025.

The Stargate project obtained funding under the special Green Deal call of Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic of “green ports and airports”. It received the maximum score of the evaluators and was selected out of more than 40 projects. Stargate’s purpose is to prove that sustainable aviation is possible and happening. It focuses on the further decarbonization of the aviation industry, the improvement of local environmental quality and the stimulation of the modal split. Together with a consortium of 21 European partners with a diverse and rich expertise (airports, community partners, knowledge institutions, consultants, local governments, …), Brussels Airports takes the lead as lighthouse airport to develop and implement innovative solutions. Results that prove successful can be deployed at the fellow airports (Toulouse, Budapest, Athens). Over the course of the coming five years, the consortium will exchange knowledge to investigate and realize more than 30 concrete projects.
