ESA ECM: ESA Entity Capability Mapping is a tool aimed at supporting the European Space Technology Harmonisation Process for entity competences and products. Capability data is entered and managed by entities in the esa-star Registration and esa-match systems. This part of the Harmonisation Process is then handled digitally within ECM. Another major benefit for economic operators will be the ability to access the entire esa-star toolset via a dedicated portal, Doing Business with ESA. All applications will be connected, making access and information retrieval simpler and quicker for entity users.

ESA match: brand new module of ESA Star (Spring 2021), It permits entities to create profile pages to present themselves, search for potential partners, identify business opportunities and showcase their products, services and experiences. ESA match is also linked to ESA star Publication (former EMITS).
