Industry Manifesto for a new ESA Profitability Policy for Space procurement activities

The Position Paper, available here, proposes recommendations to address the issue of Industry profitability when conducting ESA procurement contracts.

Profit is used for self-investment and innovation which paves the way for the future of industry and supports the competitiveness of the European space industry on the international market; industry profit is also, obviously, key to attract and/or sustain the motivation of investors and shareholders.
