3 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) * Folie 3
