This business mission is organised by the EU-Japan Centre for Industrial Cooperation for EU companies and clusters active in the space sector. It is designed to help participants present their expertise at the International Space Industry Exhibition (ISIEX), meet potential Japanese partners and clients, and learn more about the Japanese space market. The mission focuses in particular on downstream space applications and related technologies.
The ISIEX mission is part of the Space Business Mission to Japan and targets organisations active across the space value chain. For the ISIEX cohort, the focus areas include Earth observation, remote sensing, geospatial services, disaster prevention and resilience, infrastructure monitoring, environmental monitoring, downstream space applications, space defence and resilience, and dual-use space technologies.
The mission is expected to include participation in ISIEX at Tokyo Big Sight, with a side event on 16 March 2027 in Ibaraki that is listed as tentative. Participants are also expected to attend online business training modules before travelling to Japan, currently scheduled for the mornings of 11 and 12 February 2027. The mission page states that up to 16 participants are foreseen for the ISIEX cohort.
The call is aimed at individuals working for companies, including SMEs and large companies, or clusters from the European Union or countries associated with the Single Market Programme, SME Pillar. More details, eligibility conditions and the application form are available at https://www.eu-japan.eu/events/space-mission

Autoship is, as the name suggests, an acronym for autonomous ship. Just like with self-driving cars, the possibilities of an unmanned boat seem endless. It can create more efficient freight transport, around the clock deliveries and these are just a few of the examples. The project has two societal challenges.
At first, De Vlaamse Waterweg was a bit hesitant as their experience with FP7 or Horizon 2020 projects was limited and they had not been very successful up until then. The fact that they were already doing basic research on the topic of autonomous boats, and the administrative help of NCP Flanders helped De Vlaamse waterweg to cross the line and get involved.
