The main objective of this study is to perform a comprehensive in-depth assessment and consolidated analysis of socio-economic impacts generated by ESAs technology programmes incl. GSTP, TRP and ITI, on the economies and industries of the ESA Member States participating to the programmes. The analysis shall identify the full range of quantitative and qualitative impacts. In particular, identified cases of technological innovations as well as any intangible (i.e. non-quantifiable) benefits shall be included in the assessment. A representative range of technologies used in space projects, in particular mission-enabling technologies as well as IODs IOVs shall be analysed regarding the various impact categories.The study shall further aim to collect data related to technology research and development activities in the past that provide evidence of impacts in current programmes and activities of the related stakeholders. The analysis should be based mainly on the outcomes of expert interviews and an extensive questionnaire survey with representatives from industry research organisations regarding the follow-on of their current projects in ESA technology programmes, complemented by sensitivity analysis and further validation by expert interviews.
