The ESA Council at Ministerial Level 2025, held in Bremen on 26–27 November, marked a significant milestone for the Navigation Innovation and Support Programme (NAVISP). Thanks to the strong commitment and trust of participating Member States, NAVISP received exceptional subscriptions, securing its role as a cornerstone for innovation in Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) technologies.

This success reflects the confidence that ESA Member States place in NAVISP’s mission: to strengthen the European PNT ecosystem, foster cutting-edge solutions, and boost Europe’s competitiveness in the rapidly evolving global PNT landscape. We warmly thank all delegations for their vision and support, which enable NAVISP to continue delivering value to society and the economy.

Rafael Lucas, NAVISP Programme Manager, said: “With this renewed backing, NAVISP is ready to accelerate its efforts to stimulate innovation and competitiveness. We invite companies; whether established players or emerging start-ups, to seize this unique opportunity. NAVISP offers a comprehensive platform to transform ideas into real products, providing access to technical expertise, funding, and networking opportunities”.

The PNT sector is evolving rapidly, driven by advancements in resilient positioning, quantum technologies, autonomous systems, and innovative consumer applications. NAVISP is committed to enabling industry to shape this transformation and secure Europe’s technological and economic competitiveness.

We invite industries to collaborate with NAVISP. Connect with our team today and help build the next generation of PNT solutions. navisp@esa.int.
