  1. Looking for Alternative Industrial Space Strategies Strategic Proposal TTI The Perspective of a SME Brussels, October 27th 2005

  2. TTI Background • The Role of SMEs in Space Industry • TTI Strategies • ESA Industrial Policy from a SME Perspective

  3. TTI Background • Company Profile. Who we are. • High Technology Developments in Space, Science, Defence and Telecommunications • Founded in 1996 as an SME • Turnover: 2.5M€ (2004) • More than 40 employees (high qualification) • Located in Santander, Spain • 100% private owning (independent and national) • ISO:9001:2000 Certification for design, development, manufacturing and integration of telecomm equipment

  4. TTI Background • Main Areas of Knowledge. What we do: • Antennas: • Basic research, D&D, testing • Passive and active technologies (AAA), electronic scanning • RF and Microwave Equipment • IF to Ka band components D&D, amplifier systems in L-, S-, X, Ku & Ka-Bands, Radar systems • Cryogenics • Cryostats Design and Manufacturing, Cooled LNA Design and Production • Science and Space Exploration • Feasibility studies, trade-off analysis of Advanced Concepts

  5. The Role of SMEs in Space Industry • SME Values • SMEs creating high value jobs --> Excellence • SMEs bringing technical innovations --> Innovation • SMEs supporting/replacing larger companies --> Flexibility • SME Risks • Competence of large companies • Low influence in decision-makers • Market/Client Over-dependency • These values and risks are increased within a high-technology, high-risk sector such as Space

  6. The Role of SMEs in Space Industry • SME Opportunities in the Space Industry • ESA SME Initiative (LET-SME Programme, Clauses in ITTs, training, ISD, access to facilities, etc) • ESA Technology Programs: TRP, TTP, GSTP, GSP, ARTES… • EC(FPs)/National Programmes

  7. TTI Strategies • Business Model TTI is a company whose mission is to: • generate technological solutions to fulfill the needs of its clients in the sectors of Space, Telecommunications, Science and Defense; • the exploitation of these solutions through the technology transfer to other companies by means of engineering services or through its own developments (alternative space company, 1st category) Strengths an Competitive Advantages • High qualified staff employees, with expertise in different and complementary areas of knowledge • Consolidated position with the pushing organisms of breakthrough technologies and innovation • Young, dynamic company with flexible structure.

  8. ESA Industrial Policy from a SME Perspective • Recommendations (I): • On ESA Technology Programmes • ESA contracts awards based on proposals excellence, market potential and European harmonisation • Need to involve SME in these programmes • Shared budget between SMEs and larger companies (40%/60%) should be implemented • A Percentage (50%) of SMEs budget for unsolicited proposals

  9. ESA Industrial Policy from a SME Perspective • Recommendations (II): • On the Management of Institutional Programmes • Facilitating the participation of SMEs in Institutional Programmes • Dedicated Workshops ESA-Prime-SMEs • Minimum Budget (5%) of Institutional Programmes devoted to R&D projects for SMEs, focussing in more risky and innovative technologies • This would allow new opportunities for SME within large programmes, beyond prime-subcontractor relationships, by means of innovation and excellence

  10. ESA Industrial Policy from a SME Perspective • Recommendations (III): • On ESA/EC Space R&D Programs Harmonization • WHO and HOW is going to fund innovative technology developments?: • EC, ESA tend to reduce the technology R&D within the Space Programmes, moving to large institutional programmes • National Programs have low budgets • Large Companies avoid paying non-recurrent costs • SMEs • Creation of a “Space Applications Office” jointly managed by ESA and EC, to fund long-term phased projects and technology development

  11. ESA Industrial Policy from a SME Perspective • Recommendations (IV): • On Supporting User Segment Related Developments • Traditionally User Segment has been paid less attention, compared to Space HW (S/C, launchers, GS) • User terminals • Data processing equipment • Service and Applications products • A high value segment lead by US industry • Expand the large Institutional Programmes also to: • Ground Equipment • Added Value Applications and Services

  12. ESA Industrial Policy from a SME Perspective • Recommendations (and V): • On SME Access to ESA Decision-makers • Increase the bilateral relationship between SMEs and Space decision-makers • ESA DG to maintain periodic meetings with European SME representatives to study opportunities and measures within ESA Programmes to benefit SME (and therefore technology innovation)
