SME play a significant role in the German Space
Industry Landscape
… also according to the Space strategy of the
German Federal Government*
„A particular feature of the German space industry is the large
number of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)
involved in the development and manufacturing of subsystems and
components. It is a reflection of their high level of technological
competence that they are highly sought-after partners both at home
and abroad.
The Federal Government attaches special importance to these
firms since they frequently provide the impetus for innovation in
technologies and processes in space as well as entering into
important cooperative arrangements with scientific institutes.
Providers of test and system services and regional clusters and
initiatives also play an increasingly important role. (p.6 of the
strategy paper)
