Evaluation of the National Programme for Space and Innovation

On behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi), the Institute for Innovation and Technology (iit) together with its partners Kerlen Evaluation (Edinburgh) and KMU Forschung Austria (Vienna) evaluated the German Space and Innovation Programme. Between 2011and 2018, a good 2,034 funding projects with around €2.14 billion were implemented in the German space innovation ecosystem through this programme. The iit investigated the extent to which the programme achieved its goals and intended impacts and was implemented economically. A wide range of methods was used to carry out the study: desk research, funding data analyses, surveys of funding recipients and contractors, interviews with experts and various workshops.
