ESA’s Navigation Innovation and Support Programme (NAVISP) is a key enabler for innovation and competitiveness and a strategic tool at ESA to support and develop the overall European Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) landscape.

The main objective of NAVISP is to facilitate and support the generation of innovative propositions that go beyond the exclusive use of satellite navigation signals and data and include the development of competitive industrial capabilities and new, innovative technologies to complement, upgrade or replace current PNT technologies.
The NAVISP programme is structured into three Elements that complement each other and contribute to the above programme objectives:

NAVISP Element 1, Innovation, aims to develop innovative concepts, techniques, technologies and systems relating to the PNT sector along the entire value chain. The activities under Element 1 are fully funded by ESA.
NAVISP Element 2, Competitiveness, aims to maintain and improve the capabilities and competitiveness of industry in the participating States in the global market for satellite navigation and, more broadly, PNT technologies and services. As this Element of NAVISP aims to support industry initiatives, activities are co-funded between ESA and industry.
