Objective
The ultimate goal is to offer technical support to SMEs to help them improving their skills, lowering their entry barrier to space, and fostering their competitiveness in the space and non space markets. This help will be through the use of a network of en gineers and other experts giving their support on a commercial but non-profit basis. The network, called SINEQUANET (Space Intelligence, Engineering and Quality Network), will be a genuine structuring tool, focused on technical and engineering support, i .e. on what none of the existing networks offers. As there is no need to duplicate the action of existing structures, SINEQUANET will cooperate with and use the existing networks whenever their contribution to its objective is useful. The present project covers the establishment of the network baselines, the preparation of the necessary tools for its operation, and the practical testing of its functions through case studies selected in representative fields, to obtain a fully operational SINEQUANET paving the way for a valuable impact on the SMEs sector. The network establishment will require few years and a phased approach to reach its maturity and its full potential, but SMEs will receive concrete services already during the present phase, that will allo w to validate two technologies in two of the most promising industrial fields to bridge the gap to their commercial exploitation, and will train some 100 engineers in different areas of space engineering, depending on SMEs needs. SINEQUANET is genuinely unique and valuable to SMEs, and the nature of the proposed activities is completely coherent with the ETI instrument. Considering the adoption of the White Paper on the European Space Policy , the entry into force of the framework agreement between ESA an d EC , and the fact that both EC and ESA have a clear policy stating the needs to promote SMEs, the proposed actions are of direct relevance for both organisations actions in this field.
