NOVExport is a European Project designed to increase the competitiveness of small and medium-sized businesses in the space and digital technologies sector in the South-West of Europe, and to support their internationalization toward Latin America’s agricultural, environmental and maritime markets.
Small and medium-sized businesses are a crucial part of the European economy. However, fewer than 30% of them export their products and services, and for many of them accessing a new market, especially outside of Europe, involves a lengthy and complicated process.
In conjunction with this, data markets are currently expanding globally, there is an increase in the launching of satellites and a great evolution in satellite technology. Nowadays, satellites proved over 10 petabytes’ worth of data each year.
All this information represents a great opportunity as a business accelerator for the small- and medium-sized companies that have the necessary experience to develop new services, from following up on a commercial shipment to crop, livestock or pollution controls.
In this context, the NOVExport project has been created with the aim of supporting small- and medium-sized companies from the South-West of Europe in their growth toward Latin America’s agricultural, environmental and maritime markets through the technological maturation of their products and services thanks to the use of space and digital data, the internet of things, in order to satisfy the needs and overcome the challenges of those export markets.
The eligible regions are all the Spanish Autonomous Communities (except Canary Islands), the Southwestern regions of France (Auvergne, Nouvelle Aquitaine, Occitanie), all continental regions of Portugal, United Kingdom (Gibraltar) and the Principality of Andorra.
