Introduction – ITI characteristics

A mechanism, originally set-up by ESA in 2004, to support the introduction and fast validation of innovative concepts or

technologies for space applications.

i Implemented through a continuously opened Call for Ideas with a standing Evaluation Board meeting periodically

i Proposal submitted through simple online templatesShort “time to contract”

i Aims specifically at technologies novel to space

What is ITI:

ITI main characteristics:

Oct. 2009slide4



Developer: An entity that has the know-how to develop the idea to “space” standards

Customer: an entity that canactually use the idea in “space products”

Inventor: an R&D entity that is not necessarilyinvolved in space already

The “Innovation Triangle” concept states that a rapid and successful introduction of disruptive innovations in Industry requires the collaboration of three different entities: an INVENTOR, a DEVELOPER and a CUSTOMER.

Introduction – the Innovation Triangle Concept

Oct. 2009slide5



The ITI contains three basic types of activities aimed at the different elements of the triangle:

i (A) Proof of Concept (for INVENTORS): fast validation of new ideas and demonstration of its advantages (<= 50 K€)

i (B) Demonstration of Feasibility and Use (for DEVELOPERS): component and/or breadboard development up to validation in the laboratory or in a relevant environment (<= 150K€)

i (C) (New Type) Technology Adoption (for CUSTOMERS):component and/or breadboard development up to validation in a relevant environment, with the final objective of including the technology developed in the Customer’s services, products or processes (<= 2 M€ (50% Co-funded))

Introduction to ITI: The 3 Types of Activities

Current Status

i First 4 AOs of ITI (2004-07) resulted in 358 proposals submitted; 85 were approved = 8.0M€ of committed contracts (~24% accept. rate)

i Last year: 77 proposals were submitted in reply to the 2008 AO of ITI; 25 proposals approved (3M€)! (Type C proposals not included).

i Current Status of 2009 AO: 3rd evaluation round on-going.

Current status

i These 5 years of operation of ITI have shown that ITI is indeed a valid instrument to support innovation in Space by:

Fostering collaboration between different type of companiesFinancing rapid validation of innovative ideasSupporting spin-in of technologies from non-space sectorsITI is cost-effective, given the modest level of funding in individual projects. ITI is a valuable tool that fills a significant gap in the program landscape of ESA.

The ITI Brochure

i The ITI Brochure is published once per year in order to cover the ITI activities concluded in the last 12 months

i The aim of this brochure is to enhance visibility on the expertise and innovation capability of the industry and academic organizations being supported by ITI and to foster the use of their technologies

Advice for preparing a "good proposal“ to ITI

i Verify the compliance to the ITI scope

i Contact first potential Space Customers to confirm interest or to identify problematic issues linked to concrete applications before formulating proposals

i Do not apply for Type B if the basic idea is not yet proven (target Type A first to establish credibility for new technologies)

i Contact ESA technical experts, for guidance on novelty and relevance

i Propose a specific solution to be implemented (no trade-offs or system studies allowed)

Conclusions

i Unfortunately, many ITI proposals submitted by Spanish entities were not successful

i Understanding better the ITI selection process and scope will result in more ITI contracts for the Spanish Industry and Academia

i In the future, we would like very much to keep receiving ITI proposals from Spain, and to be able to award ITI contracts.

i Therefore, our goal today is to help you by clarifying the scope and selection process of ITI and to answer any other questions you may have regarding the submission of ITI proposals.
