SME + Midcap Days 2026 - SME Registration
SMEs from ESA Member States, Associate States and Cooperating States are now invited to register to attend the in-person event.
On day 1, ESA representatives will share updates and information with the industrial community and will open the floor for discussions. In addition, a meeting between SMEs and Midcaps is foreseen.
On day 2, the well-established annual SME and Midcap Fora, led by the Directorate of Commercialisation, Industry and Competitivenss, will take place. The two fora are industry consultation processes during which industry participants are invited to share their views and give feedback about topics which affect their companies’ work with ESA and in the space sector in general. Consolidated comments and reactions provided will feed into the next ESA High Level Forum as well as future considerations about the activities and policies of the Agency.
SME Registration
Places are limited and preference will be given to company representatives whose entities are also taking part in the SME Forum preparatory meetings for the SME Forum in April and May. The Agency encourages participation at management level.
