CHALLENGES TO CREATE SYNERGIES BETWEEN THE SPACE AND ENERGY
SECTORS

SPACE AND ENERGY SECTORS
� Similar sustainable ambitions� Both risk aversive� Different institutional logics� Different degree of governmental intervention
PERSPECTIVE OF THE CHALLENGES
INITIATING INNOVATION
Actor rolesActor identification Knowledge representations
Initiating Cross-Sectoral Innovation– Bringing Space Technology to Other Sectors
INDUSTRY PERSPECTIVE
Kerstens, N.M.J.M., Giannopapa, C.G., Dolmans, S.A.M. & Reymen, I.M.M.J. (2017). Down to earth : popularisation of geo-information services in the Netherlands. Space Policy, 41, 12-19.

INDUSTRY PERSPECTIVE
Political
Socio-economic
Technological
� Lack of coordination between upstream and downstream market development � Absence of a governmental investment- and R&D agenda for space technology and
applications� Insufficient alignment of national and international level ambitions and initiatives
� Dependence on governmental funding constraints proactive market exploration� Possibilities of space technology and applications are not known by the wider public� Data transformation companies typically lack entrepreneurial skills and financial
resources
� Data transformation and combination is necessary to transform raw satellite data into useful information for end users
� Competition of other services and data sources and well established technologies
POLICY AND PUBLIC PERSPECTIVE
Governmental intervention in cross-sectoral synergies: Space technology and applications for the energy sector
Dilemma’s
� Degree of governmental intervention� Overcoming the valley of death� Policy push vs Technology push vs Market pull� Funding the market vs Funding technology� Top down vs Bottom up approach
