Registration is open for SME + Midcap Days 2024

Participating SME’s will get the opportunity to share their concerns and ideas with ESA, as well as learn about important developments for companies interested in working with ESA, such as getting an update about ESAs upcoming revision of the Procurement Regulations.

On day 1, ESA representatives will share updates and information with the industrial community and will open the floor for discussions. In addition, a meeting between SMEs and Midcaps is foreseen.

On day 2, the well-established annual SME and Midcap Fora, led by the Directorate of Commercialisation, Industry and Competitivenss, will take place. The two fora are industry consultation processes during which industry participants are invited to share their views and give feedback about topics which affect their companies’ work with ESA and in the space sector in general. Consolidated comments and reactions provided will feed into the next ESA High Level Forum as well as future considerations about the activities and policies of the Agency.

The objectives of the SME+Midcap Days, including the SME Forum, are:

• to collect industry feedback about topics which affect the companies’ business in the ESA and non-ESA context
• to provide an opportunity to discuss with ESA representatives and exchange views and information
• to facilitate networking between SMEs and SMEs as well as SMEs and Midcaps
• to inform SMEs and Midcaps about recent developments and provide information with regard to working with ESA
