Since 1998, ESA is taking a certain number of measures in support of industry competitiveness in general and of SMEs' (Small and Medium-size Enterprises) in particular. For example, active encouragement to SMEs to participate in its technology programmes is becoming a constant effort of ESA industrial policy.
This encouragement is implemented through a programme of support actions called the "ESA SME Initiative", initiated in January 1999, and including a set of measures tailored to facilitate SMEs' access to ESA programmes and to improve the conditions under which they operate. Helping SMEs improve their technical skills and competences through "Training and technical assistance" is one of these measures, pursued since 5 years now. The 4 courses proposed this year have been elaborated thanks to the dedication and full commitment of ESA internal experts and some external consultants, who will also deliver these courses to you. The SME Unit thanks all these colleagues wholeheartedly.,
