SME4SPACE is a panel of SME space associations of the ESA Member States and ESA cooperating States. SME4SPACE was founded in 2007 and officially launched on 19 June 2007 at the International Paris Air Show, Le Bourget. On that day ESA Director General J.J. Dordain signed a Memorandum of Agreement formalising cooperation between ESA and SME4SPACE, represented by the President Giovanni Sylos Labini.
The aim of this new organisation is to voice Space SMEs’ viewpoint in an organised and coordinated way and to facilitate the access of SMEs to space activities in general and to ESA programmes in particular.
The founders of SME4SPACE are AIPAS (Association Italian Space SMEs) and ASTOS (Association of Specialist Technical Organisations for Space), UK.
