By running joint projects, the space industry increase their expertise with research and innovation collaboration.
Initially eight R&D projects, related to the development needs of the space industry, have been implemented and will contribute to a general increase in expertise. New projects will also be continuously created throughout the project.
At the end of the project at least eight new products or services have been identified for further development towards commercialisation.
