On Wednesday, 20 November (14:00 – 16:00 CET) SMEs had the opportunity to contribute to an interactive session organised by SME4SPACE and AKRK (German Space SME Association) in cooperation with ESA SME Office. The event was an opportunity for SMEs to learn and ask questions about the support offered by these associations and ESA SME Office. SMEs had an opportunity to highlight the kind of support they would like to receive in the future, share their experiences and provide feedback on measures already implemented. The event took place in K52, just in front of SME4SPACE Booth K30 in the exhibiton area of the SpaceTechExpo.
