After SME4SPACE received several concerned comments from its members and other SME representatives, an infosession on IRIS² was hosted with more than 80 SME representatives present. SME4SPACE has consolidated the most pressing issues and concerns we received in a position paper.
These concerns include problematic communication, the subcontracting guarantee and end-to-end services for SMEs, and unclear selection for procurement.
We urge for better dialogue with the European Commission and the SpaceRISE consortium, so we can successfully resolve these issues and leverage the potential of SMEs.
You can find the full position paper below.
In case you wish to reflect on our position or engage in a discourse, please reach out at info@sme4space.org.
