| Description: | The Grand Est region has potential to participate and contribute to the global space economy and should take a proactive role to support and accelerate its contribution to the space industry, for the benefit of the people in this region of France. This project developed guidelines to help Grand Est achieve their goal of boosting its regional space competitiveness. Current space industry trends worldwide were analyzed, as was the industrial competitiveness of the region, and innovative methodologies to determine policies, methods and tools were applied to come up with recommendations for Grand Est. This innovative methodology allows an instant overview of what pillars of industrial competitiveness can be enhanced, and what the potential for the region to enhance its competitiveness in the global space industry. For the Grand Est region, the four conceptual areas which can be enhanced to gain the greatest amount of space competitiveness are labor market efficiency, technological readiness, business sophistication, and innovation. From a more detailed analysis, a set of recommended policies matching these four pillars of industrial competitiveness were made, such as adopting a long term investment strategy, utilizing satellite observation data for precise agricultural practices, water management and vineyard management. |
