#ESA 📆 2011 The #European 🇪🇺 #SpaceMarket arguably lacks essential ingredients of a free, #competition-driven, #commercial market and thus also some #innovation-stimulating effects of these: activities of the monopsonist are highly regulated by free-market #distorting rules.
#Innovation is the renewal and enlargement of the range of products and services and the associated markets; the establishment of #new methods of production, supply and distribution; the introduction of #changes in #management, work #organisation, and the working conditions and skills of the workforce.
The #SpaceSector as a whole as well as its #major actors experience difficulties preparing for #disruptive or #radical innovation, partly due to the successes enabled by incremental, sustaining innovation. However, based on analysis methods of free market, #signs 👀 of potentially #disruptive #innovation in the space sector are appearing." https://www.esa.int/gsp/ACT/doc/CMS/pub/ACT-RPR-1011%20Early%20Signs%20of%20Potentially%20Disruptive%20Innovation%20in%20the%20Space%20Sector%20summerer.pdf
