Small satellites, local suppliers: building a space supply chain around Rome
Aerospace companies need certified partners nearby — and are using the platform to find them.
01The story
Building small satellites means working with many specialised suppliers: structures, harnesses, test equipment, avionics and software. Being close to them shortens iterations and simplifies quality control.
Sample member Tiberis Aerotech is looking for an avionics partner for a new satellite platform and for certified aluminium suppliers — both published as business opportunities.
Why proximity matters
In aerospace, qualification takes time. A supplier that can visit the lab, join test campaigns and adapt quickly is often worth more than a cheaper one far away.
Innovation projects of this kind can also be combined with research and development funding, where companies apply together with partners.
