EU space programme beyond 2020

On 6 June 2018, the European Commission presented a proposal for a new EU Space Program,  which should devote € 16bn to help maintain and further enhance the EU's leadership in space in the programming period 2021-2027. The Commission proposal brings together all existing and new space activities into a single program. The new space program preserves existing infrastructures and services and introduces a number of new elements such as improving access for start-ups to venture capital financing or creating innovative partnerships to develop and purchase innovative products and services, facilitate start-ups to access testing and processing facilities, normalization. The programme will be rolled out together with Horizon Europe, ensuring collaboration between space-related research and innovation actions.
