Established in 1975, the European Space Agency deals with every aspect of space activity, from exploration to scientific discovery. The agency also works with scientists and governments across the globe to monitor climate change and help during disasters. 

Over the next few years, ESA will search for signs of life on Mars, explore oceans of Jupiter’s moons, orbit Mercury and search for Earth-like planets around other stars.  

“Every day, we at ESA push back the boundaries of humankind’s understanding of our universe and our place in it,” says Emma Fletcher, head, branding, partnerships, ESA. “ESA is very pleased to be partnering with Rocket Licensing to share this excitement with a much wider audience.” 

“ESA is an incredible brand to have on board with so many potential areas for licensing and such a fascinating portfolio of assets,” Rob Wijeratna, joint managing director, Rocket Licensing. “Space intrigues us all, so the potential audience for this brand is galactic and intergenerational. We’re looking forward to showcasing the property and discussing it with potential licensing partners at BLE.” 

Rocket Licensing will be looking to build the ESA brand across apparel, toys and games, homewares, gifting, publishing and more at Brand Licensing Europe (stand C141).
