  1. SPACE OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGESSpace Policy round table Brussels 30 January 2013 F. Emma - Coordination and Business Development with Member States Office D/PPC-PM

  2. PRESENTATION OUTLINE • Investing in space • Space in support of Member States • Poland within ESA

  3. INVESTING IN SPACE • ESA has discussed at length, in the last months, the importance to invest in space infrastructures and services: • To highlight, particularly nowadays in times of crisis, the potential of space to act as vector promoting innovation and growth. • To obtain the required political endorsement and financial support to the initiatives proposed for subscription in the upcoming ministerial conference • The importance of space for the European economy has been first recalled in Agenda 2015 and further substantiated in the DG’s proposal at C-MIN 12 • The overarching goal of competitiveness and growth in support of investments in space is the key message in DG’s proposals at C-MIN12 broken down in three strategic objectives: • Pushing the frontier of knowledge • Supporting an innovative and competitive Europe • Enabling services • Further elements supporting the idea of the positive impact of investment in space have been delivered to Ministers in Naples, through the report on the “Socio-Economic Value of Investments in Space” recalling, among others, the fact that: • Public investments in Space have a multiplier factor ranging between 1.4 and 4.9. (2011, OECD study- “The Space Economy at Glance”)

  4. SPACE IN SUPPORT OF MEMBER STATES • Implementing a Space Policy supporting MS strategic interests and ambitions is one of the pillars of ESA’s strategy for space activities. • The enlargement of the Agency counting nowadays 20 MS with the recent addition of Poland and including, eventually in the future, all EU countries, is constantly challenging the executive to reflect on ways to help the inclusion of new actors in the space arena • ESA is promoting a constant dialogue with its MS by offering them opportunities for interaction through: • Formal meetings at delegate level (councils, programme boards and other delegated bodies). • Regular consultations in preparation of bilateral or plenary/councils meetings. • Constant interactions with programmes/technical directorates and the procurement and financial directorate.

  5. POLAND WITHIN ESA • With the accession formalised at C-MIN12, Poland has become the ESA 20th Member State • The transition from the status of European Cooperating State to full Member State, will offer new opportunities to the country such as the possibility: • To develop the existing national, industrial capabilities, through an increased participation in ESA programmes. • To exploit the transfer of technical know-how for the set-up of initiatives promoting, within the country, innovation also in other sectors (i.e. as done with the ESA Technology Transfer Programme) • To develop activities related to space downstream sector and satellite data exploitation • To have more opportunities for partnerships with the Agency to fulfil local/regional requirements (as done by ESA already with other Regions in Europe)
