From May 29-30 2006, INVESaT was actively promoted at the Industry Space Days (ISD) at ESTEC / Netherlands.
The ISD’s approach is to foster the synergies between high-tech SMEs and the European space sector, through business meetings, conferences, solution workshops and benchmark sessions, as well as SME exhibits. INVESaT was represented with a stand at the ISD together with the European Space Incubator.
Galileo Workshop for SMEs
The INVESaT project was presented at the Galileo Workshop for SMEs taking place on April 5th-6th 2006 in Brussels.
The workshop was intended to stimulate the cross-fertilisation of results by offering SMEs the opportunity to promote their own activities to other actors of the Galileo community, but also to garner information from these actors.
Another main objective of the workshop was to establish open and direct dialogue between SMEs and major institutional and industrial actors of the Galileo program and to provide participants with an update of the Galileo program. More info...
