Hellenic Space Industry, going through a

technology maturity level with great

future growth potentials

2

Space sector is a driving force for broader and stronger

international partnerships that lead to Growth, Employment and

Competitiveness in several sectors of the economy

It is a "market" of $90 billion worldwide, which in recent years

is growing at about 8% per annum !!

The total institutional spending on space in 2012 can be estimated

to be approximately $67.8 billion

International Space Market

European companies account for 40% of commercial markets

for manufacturing and launching satellites and providing satellite

services ( 7 Billion Euros is the EU Annual Space Budget)

Greece – Space Milestones

Considerations

5

Geographic Considerations

Greece is located in the southeastern region of the EU, a geopolitically sensitive region with strong commercial and industrial interests

Greece has the biggest and most dispersed maritime area with the highest number of islands of the European Union

The greater part of the country is mountainous with a very strong topography, which in some areas creates difficulties in transportation and communication, particularly close to the border areas

The country boasts one of the most seismically active regions in the world with high frequency of natural catastrophic events (eg earthquakes, landslides, floods, forest fires)

Considerations

6

Financial Considerations ……… Hard work for everyone

The Greek economy showed signs of recession in 2009 as a result of the global

financial crisis, whereas from 2010 onwards the recession has been intensified

considerably due to country’s fiscal imbalances. Greece embark on a trilateral

mechanism of financial support, comprising the EU, the IMF and the ECB.

Reforms and restrictive policy implementations have already begun to bear

positive results

An improvement in the development trends of GDP already archived on 2013

through the acceleration of reforms aimed at the development of a more attractive

investment and business environment, including liberalization of a number of

markets, faster licensing procedures, the new Investment Law, flexibility in the

labor market, as well with a reduction in the cost of production factors due to the

crisis.

Considerations

7

Invest in Innovation

Greek Government decided to focus on niche space technologies in order to

boost local economy.

Why space technologies:

“Return-on-Investment” in space activities is in the order of a factor of 6

Utilizes investments already made by the industry due to national

participation to the European Space Agency (ESA)

Exploitation of local highly educated human resources (keep the scientists

in the country !!)

Develop technologies critical for the National Security (According to a

specific plan)

According to OECD’s Going for Growth report, Greece has made the

biggest progress of all OECD countries in structural reforms since the start

of the crisis, covering the 2007-12 period.
