Eurospace Position Paper “Streamlining industry’s ability to be more agile and competitive in an ESA context”
— POSITION PAPER AVAILABLE HERE —
In its effort to increase ESA’s value for citizens and society and pave the way for a long-term ambition for Europe in space, ESA Agenda 2025 outlines five specific priorities with clear targets for 2025. The last one, “complete the ESA transformation” is all the more important that it directly impacts the European space industry’s ability to be competitive.
Accelerating time to contract, reducing the number of procurement constraints that make proposal preparation extremely expensive will allow industry to offer high-quality and innovative products in a cost-effective manner. The digitalisation of ESA processes, at all stages of the procurement process, will be a key support to this endeavour.
Against the soaring of the costs of proposals in an inflationary context that are further eating low profitability margins, the European space industry wishes to share its eight steps of an agile and cost-effective ESA procurement process in its Position Paper “Streamlining industry’s ability to be more agile and competitive in an ESA context”, available HERE.
