Balanced Participation<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”10686″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]There is virtually no issue which unites politicians on all levels from the L\u00e4nder to the federal government of Germany and\u00a0the EU-Commission to the same extent as the commitment to protection and promotion of SMEs. As the Federal Ministry of\u00a0Economic Affairs and Energy expresses it: \u201cMidsized companies are the success factor of Germany\u00b4s economy. They are\u00a0indispensable for growth, jobs and innovation in Germany \u2026 SMEs (are) the backbone of \u00a0German economy<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>when it comes to space\u00a0almost the entire downstream terrestric business areas are considered to be the playing field of SMEs:<\/p>\n

\u201cBuilding up a competitive industry in downstream growth markets is of special importance \u2026 Here, large new fields of\u00a0activity are developing which are particularly suited to SMEs with their <\/span>\u00a0high innovation potential<\/a>\u201c.<\/p>\n

Apart from initializing an entire series of support measures, the German space agency DLR <\/a>has issued\u00a0a<\/span>n orientation mark of 20 percent SME participation\u00a0in each<\/span>\u00a0national space project<\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, at a European level, the respective priorities are also defined within precise quantitative corridors: approx. 46\u00a0percent of SME participation in public projects was achieved in the EU by 2011, including\u00a029 percent of direct\u00a0orders<\/span><\/a>. The EU has set the final target at 58 percent<\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

As one of the large organizations engaged in public hightech-procurement, ESA lags far behind any such target\u00a0lines. However, ESA does not lack commitment to SMEs as the backbone of business and confessions that a participation of below\u00a0ten percent by German SMEs and an increase from 2.5 to only 6.5 percent SME participation in general\u00a0within almost ten years is clearly not enough<\/a>. Also, there is no lack of administrative imagination\u00a0when it comes to introducing support instruments, especially the permanently improved “C1-C4-Clauses”<\/a>\u00a0deserve a special mentioning.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, national governments as well as the EU-Commission do not merely expect administrative guidelines, but\u00a0quite simply results. Results, by the way, which could, according to a Europe-wide study, help ESA itself to\u00a0make signi\ufb01cant leaps in the areas of innovation and efficiency<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This kind of progress would certainly not just correspond to the interests\u00a0of member states, but also to all LSIs whose necessary leading role in de\ufb01ning and realizing projects and programs\u00a0depend to a considerable extent on established ESA-mechanisms such as georeturn. In addition, LSIs benefit largely from\u00a0the integration of independent SMEs into their project teams. The validity of this thesis is proven on a daily basis in all\u00a0system-relevant technology branches in Germany where ef\ufb01ciency and innovation are the only principles of survival\u00a0in commercial world markets. And \ufb01nally, it would help Europe and ESA in the search for our own European ways to open the doors to \u201dnew space\u201c.<\/p>\n

Regardless of which approach will ultimately be implemented – without SMEs \u201dnew space\u201d is simply not going to happen.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text]back:[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Think small first!” style=”flat” shape=”square” align=”left” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fbestofspace.de%2Fwas-wir-wollen%2Fin-bund-und-eu-vorfahrt-fuer-kmu%2F%3Flang%3Den|||” el_class=”self-button”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text]continue reading:[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”ESA: Priority on Tech Programs” style=”flat” shape=”square” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fbestofspace.de%2Fwas-wir-wollen%2Fesa-prioritaet-auf-technologiefoerderung%2F%3Flang%3Den|||” el_class=”self-button”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
