The project focuses on KiNNO’s participation in ESA’s Technology Transfer Network (TTN), designed to bridge the gap between space and non-space industries. As the first Greek organization to join the TTN, KiNNO plays a key role in connecting space technologies with sectors such as Energy, Maritime, Agrofood, ICT, Health, Materials, and Manufacturing. The network unites brokers across ESA Member States to collaborate with local industries and national technology-transfer initiatives, facilitating the spin-off of space technologies into non-space markets. Through this network, KiNNO fosters innovation and strengthens the connection between space and non-space industries.
