Meet SME4SPACE: Founding Member of Space AISBL and Organiser of the 2025 SRIA Update Outreach Event

SME4SPACE is a not-for-profit organisation based in Leuven, Belgium, dedicated to supporting and amplifying the voice of European space SMEs. Its core mission is to ensure that small and medium-sized enterprises have better access to space programmes—especially those led by ESA and the EU—and to advocate for their role within the broader European space ecosystem.

With a long-standing commitment to strengthening the presence and influence of SMEs in the space sector, SME4SPACE brings together a dynamic network of companies across Europe and works to ensure their perspectives are considered in key institutional and industrial dialogues.

This year, SME4SPACE is taking a leading role in organising the GCSS Partnership SRIA Update Outreach Event, taking place on 4–5 June 2025 in Brussels, with the support of Space AISBL. The event will be a key moment for the space community to connect, exchange ideas, and help shape the future of European space research and innovation.

The SRIA Update Outreach Event is open to all and will feature expert-led sessions, interactive panels, and opportunities to directly contribute to setting the R&I priorities of the GCSS Partnership under Horizon Europe.
