Space2Waves showcase and matchmaking
3 March 2022 10:00am – 12:00pm CET online.
Space2Waves is the continuation of the SpaceWave project (2018-2019) which successfully developed an internationalization strategy to accelerate the global deployment of Earth Observation (EO) technologies in the Blue Growth sector and to support European SMEs’ competitiveness. Work Package 3 involves business meetings between cohorts members and local organisations in South Africa.
During the project 30 European SMEs will have the chance to benefit from preparatory activities to develop new overseas business, take part in matchmaking missions in one of the four target countries as well as follow up actions to maximise collaborations.
As part of building trade bridges between EU SMEs and South African organisations, we are hosting a showcase event. The Space2Waves SME cohort members are a cornerstone of the showcase.

We are working with South African organisations to develop commercial opportunities between the two regions. All enterprises involved are active in one of the themes of Space2Waves:
- Fisheries
- Port infrastructure
- Maritime transport
- Aquaculture
- Climate change
- EEZ Surveillance
Event information
Bringing together numerous participating clusters, associations and companies, predominantly SMEs, from Europe and South Africa, the event is an excellent platform to promote networking opportunities for organisations from Europe and South Africa. In particular, the event is aimed at facilitating the Space2Waves cohort and participants to:
- Explore trade, investment and partnering opportunities; and
- Initiate discussions that will ultimately result in Letters of Interest, Memorandum of Understanding, and other types of partnership agreements.
Get involved
We are inviting registrations of South African companies and organisations with an interest in this event.
