Annex 1 – section 2 – point 1 – point 1.6 – point 1.6.1 – point 1.6.1.2 – paragraph 1
A number of challenges in space technologies have parallels to terrestrial challenges, for example in the fields of energy, telecommunications, natural resource exploration, robotics, security, and health. These commonalities offer opportunities for early co-development, in particular by SMEs, of technologies across space and non-space communities, potentially resulting in breakthrough innovations more rapidly than achieved in spin-offs at a later stage. Exploitation of existing European space infrastructure should be stimulated by promoting development of innovative products and services based on remote sensing and geo- positioning and space-based telecommunications. This need to promote innovative products and services, and, thus, the need to provide financial support to R&D&I initiatives, is particularly evident for the GNSS programmes which open up the possibility of new applications in numerous areas of activity, in particular due to the precision of the data offered by the atomic clock. This need is also particularly acute, given that EGNOS is already operational and Galileo also will be operational in relatively short time. A range of 15 to 20 % of the funding package that has been proposed for space within the Horizon 2020 programme is seen as an objective that corresponds well with the investment needed in order to meet the potential of delivering new products and services, and thus reap all the significant socio-economic benefits that are to result from these. Europe should furthermore reinforce the incipient development of an entrepreneurial space sector by well targeted measures.
