Purpose
To facilitate business cooperation through marketing tools, matchmaking, and business and finance services. As a Societas Cooperativa Europaea, Space Cooperative Europe SCE (or SCE² ) is a legal entity that enables members to engage in joint activities while maintaining independence. It serves as a facilitator for cross-border and transnational activities, encouraging consortia formation and cooperation to be able to enter the space market, or to compete with larger market players. SCE² supports space-related ideas, projects, services, and initiatives.
Strategy
Partners build consortia, compete with bigger players, generate new business. SCE² supports space-related initiatives. “Upstream space” includes research, development, manufacturing, and exploitation. “Downstream space” utilises space data for new technologies, services, and products.
Mission
To satisfy members’ needs and distribute profits proportionally to participation, not capital investment.
Vision
To make Europe stronger, more equitable, and more sustainable through space assets.
Values
Cooperatives are based on the values of self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity, and solidarity. Members believe in the ethical values of honesty, openness, social responsibility, and caring for others.
