The seminar will present and further discuss policies in support of services powered by satellite technologies and identify key drivers and barriers to new industries emerging in the field.  It will look into new trends and patterns and elaborate scope for a more strategic European approach to better address the needs of companies active in service markets based on satellite-enabled technologies.

The workshop is planned as a 2 half-day’s event and will bring together innovation policy experts and innovation analysts in the services industries to discuss how to better define the sector in terms of industries involved, their innovation dynamics, main actors, companies, incubators, clusters, their needs in terms of support and discuss the main characteristics of European available support programmes.

The workshop will result in a number of recommendations to the policy community on the best approaches in terms of policies in the field and on policy options to be adopted by a new European Partnership.
