CNES's commercialization policy

All over the world, research is seen as an accelerator of competitiveness for innovation: exploiting public research is regarded as one of the major vectors of economic growth and societal development.
A "commercialization" department has been created within CNES to make this space technologies resource accessible to economic and regional stakeholders. CNES’s commercialization policy is designed to disseminate the Agency’s intellectual heritage more widely, in order to leverage the entire industrial fabric and boost competitiveness and employment.

OBJECTIVES of CNES's commercialization policy

  • Support economic development of the industrial ecosystem, particularly for start-ups, SMEs and mid-tier companies
  • Boost the competitiveness of manufacturers and laboratories in the space sector
  • Promote technologies in the downstream space sector and other sectors
  • Encourage innovation
