Business with ESA

A lecture on the basics of these two intellectual property rights and their respective strengths in protecting aspects of your business. They are fundamentally different and are frequently used in combination to optimise project of products and brands.

A reminder session to discuss the process businesses should expect from start to filing and grant. The session will aim to cover how to prepare to reduce costs, time points to prepare for and what you will/should be provided with. Importantly, it will cover the best way to keep costs down and maximise efficiency whilst minimising your time input.

An interactive webinar with ESA's Industrial Ombuds, Matthias Meyerhans and Jean-Marc Nasr, will take place on 23 September 2025 at 15:00 CEST.

A company participating in an ESA Invitation To Tender (ITT) is required to complete a financial proposal that includes the ESA Procedures, Specification and Standards Forms – known as PSS forms. ESA PSS forms show cost data and are required under the General Conditions of Tender for ESA Contracts (ESA/REG/001, rev.5, Annex IV). The Tender Evaluation Board (TEB) uses this information to conduct a review, comparison and selection from the various tenders received in response to an ITT.

ESA is offering a webinar on "Compliant Industrial Rates for ESA Projects" aimed at Financial Managers and Project Controllers of industrial entities, especially Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, wanting to work with ESA.
