7 Space matters for Europe European Space Strategy • MAXIMISING THE BENEFITS OF SPACE FOR SOCIETY AND THE EU ECONOMY – Encouraging the uptake of space services and data – Advancing the EU space programmes and meeting new user needs

• FOSTERING A GLOBALLY COMPETITIVE AND INNOVATIVE EUROPEAN SPACE SECTOR – Supporting research and innovation and development of skills – Fostering entrepreneurship and new business opportunities

• REINFORCING EUROPE’S AUTONOMY IN ACCESSING AND USING SPACE IN A SECURE AND SAFE ENVIRONMENT – Maintaining Europe’s autonomous access to space – Ensuring access to radio frequency spectrum – Ensuring the protection and resilience of critical European space infrastructure – Reinforcing synergies between civil and security space activities

• STRENGTHENING EUROPE’S ROLE AS A GLOBAL ACTOR AND PROMOTING INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION

• ENSURING EFFECTIVE DELIVERY 8 Current and future EC areas of interest in space Current • Galileo • Copernicus • SST

Future • GovSatCom • Launchers • IOV/IOD • ………….

9 Space is changing ………

Planet.com: January 2014, 28 satellites (DOVES) launched from the ISS Currently 71 in orbit 10 Space is changing quickly

December 21st 2015 : first successful reentry of the Falcon-9 first stage 11 Agencies and industries need to cope with these changes ADAPTING SPACE POLICIES

• GOVERNANCE

• BUDGET

• INDUSTRY

• STRATEGIES

• PROGRAMS

• INT’L PARTNERSHIP SPACE ECONOMY

new economy is about the transition from manufacturing to services exploiting that the economy of services has different characteristics than manufacturing

Internet based services can be multiplied immensely at negligible cost  the service become an inexpensive utility and the revenues come from side/indirect returns

and the space downstream sector is a lot about services ….

13 IS IT ENOUGH WHAT WE DO TO STIMULATE OUR SPACE ECONOMY? ARE WE MATCHING THAT? ARE WE IN TIME?

CAN WE KEEP OR EVEN IMPROVE CURRENT LEVEL OF BUDGET?

THE ITALIAN SPACE AGENCY IS THE SYSTEM ARCHITECT FOR SPACE

ITALY IS READY TO SUPPORT EC IN VERIFYING HOW A HIGH LEVEL STATEMENT ON THE STRATEGIC ROLE OF LAUNCHERS IN EUROPE COULD BE TRANSLATED IN CONCRETE ACTIONS AND IN FOSTERING THE CREATION OF AN APPROPRIATE “EU-ESA JOINT INITIATIVE” FOR CREATING, IN A CONTEST OF INCREASING COMPETITION, A CRITICAL MASS OF EUROPEAN INSTITUTIONAL USERS (INCLUDING EC, EUMETSAT, MEMBER STATES, ETC. ) IN ORDER TO GATHER ALL THEIR REQUIREMENTS AND NEEDS TO BE TRANSLATED IN EUROPEAN INSTITUTIONAL MISSIONS THAT WILL MAKE USE OF A STRUCTURED PUBLIC PROCUREMENT OF EUROPEAN LAUNCH SERVICES.
