SME4SPACE, a not for profit organisation registered in Leuven under the Belgian Law which aims to voice Space SMEs’ viewpoint in Europe, conducted a study to assess the current situation and the impact of the actions put in place by ESA and European Commission to support the European Space Industry (SMEs in particular).

They share the following main results: 

1. Only a very limited number of SMEs can continue its activities unaltered, teleworking is indeed widely used.
2. Existing and already highlighted problems from our previous survey remain (cash, supply chain and labour force), but anxiety over the future emerges as the new main issues (continuity in public programmes, orders);
3. Companies would like to be reassured by European Institutions (EC, ESA, etc.), possibly with new and ambitious programmes and activities and with statements confirming their long-term commitment to space programmes;
4. Lay-offs become a big risk;
5. Measures taken are well known and widely used.
