ECI Presentation Days

Programme

In 1990’s ESA, National Space Agencies, and the European Space Industry observed a rapidly decreasing European market share of Electrical, Electronic and Electromechanical (EEE) components suitable for space applications. Europe was becoming increasingly dependent on the non-European export regulated sources for space components.  In 2004, to reduce the dependence of the European space sector on non-European components suppliers,  a EEE-components action plan was put in place called the European Component Initiative (ECI).
