The Netherlands Space Office (NSO) challenges entrepreneurs to develop new services and/or products based on, among other things, satellite data for the provision of information for biodiversity. This call focuses on the sub-theme 'nature'.

Satellite data offer new possibilities for monitoring biodiversity. Where the SBIR often presents a defined issue to the market from a specific government party, this SBIR is broader in scope: we ask market parties to identify an issue within the theme of biodiversity itself with one or more (semi-) public organizations as problem holders for which they want to develop the solution.

The maximum amount per project for a feasibility study in phase 1 is € 70,000 (incl. VAT). A maximum of 4 feasibility studies will be contracted in phase 1.

The maximum amount per project for phase 2 is € 100,000 (incl. VAT). In total, a maximum budget of € 480,000 will be made available by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy for phase 1 and phase 2 of this SBIR.
