About ESA Phi-Lab Ireland
ENABLING NEXT GENERATION SPACE-OPTIMISED HARDWARE FROM MATERIALS DISCOVERY TO HIGH-VOLUME MANUFACTURING
ESA Phi-Lab Ireland facilitates research into upstream space-related science and technologies with clear market alignment and scaling potential.
As part of the ESA Phi-Lab NET, we make the connections that will accelerate the future of space through transformative innovation – and boost Europe´s competitiveness, sovereignty, and leadership in the global space economy.
ESA Phi-Lab Ireland is designed to accelerate companies on their upstream technology development cycle. We cover the full lifecycle from materials development and characterisation to design and large-scale manufacturing.
ACCELERATING INNOVATION THROUGH LOCAL
AND INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION
ESA Phi-Lab Ireland is made up of a local consortium representing two of Ireland's flagship research centres - Irish Manufacturing Research and AMBER Centre at Trinity College Dublin - working closely with the European Space Agency's Commercialisation Gateway.
IRISH MANUFACTURING RESEARCH
Irish Manufacturing Research (IMR) is a leading Research and Technology Organisation providing a portfolio of research, training, and consultancy services to Industry across the following four thematic pillars: Digitisation, Sustainable manufacturing, Design for Manufacturing and Robotics and Automation. IMR works with leading global and indigenous brands to demystify and derisk new and emerging technologies and to deliver high impact collaborative research and services to enable advanced manufacturing for a broad range of clients across Ireland’s manufacturing network.
AMBER Centre
AMBER is the Taighde Éireann – Research Ireland Centre for Advanced Materials and BioEngineering Research. The Centre brings a multidisciplinary partnership between leading academics in Advanced Materials Science, BioEngineering and Industry. Working collaboratively we develop new materials and devices for the ICT, medical devices, energy and sustainable industrial technology sectors. AMBER is hosted by Trinity College Dublin, in partnership with CRANN (Centre for Research on Adaptive Nanostructures and Nanodevices) and the Trinity Centre for Biomedical Engineering, RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences, University College Cork, NUI Galway, Dublin City University, Tyndall National Institute, University of Limerick, University College Dublin, the Technological University of the Shannon: Midland West and TU Dublin.
