18th November 2009 - Seminar on ESA technology Programmes by the Task Force Secretary
The Czech Space Alliance was able to secure a very important speaker, the Head of ESA Office for Support for New Member Countries and the secretary of the Czech-ESA Task Force, Mr. Pedro Baptista. Pedro, who spoke to an audience of 22 people, gave us a complete overview of the ESA budget structures and explained many details of all the thirteen technology programmes to which the Czech Republic subscribed. We are now much better equipped to deal with ITTs (Invitations to Tender) that attract our attention on EMITS and are aware of some of the conditions that we have to fulfil if we intend to participate. We also learnt about the global nature of space business and the need to look for partners and markets beyond the European borders. We hope to be able to attract Pedro to talk to us again at the next opportunity, so that we can start putting more pieces into the puzzle, which ESA is for us at this early stage of the Czech participation. Nevertheless, the excellent results which appear to be coming from the AO6052 opportunity show, that the Czech industry made big progress from the days of the Program for European Co-operating States (PECS). All the same, we still have a lot to learn about the specific ESA processes, which are essential for successful business in ESA technology development.

12th November 2009 - Alliance AGM 2009
This annual general meeting took place at the modern and recently expanded premises of our member Frentech in Brno. We were pleased to wellcome two new members, 5M and ANF Data. Among the positive issues that were discussed were the good results that our members achieved in the recent ESA tender AO6052. On the other side, we explored the unclear situation regarding the VAT exemption that those members who will be invoicing ESA under the AO6052 contracts require. Finally we discussed some intended actions for the next year, which should include visit to an ESA establishment.

The attendeees were wellcome by the commercial attache on behalf of the ambassador, who was out of the country. Following the presentations, the participants sampled some Czech culinary delicacies offered by the Embassy and mingled in bi-lateral conversations. Several potential areas of specific interest were discussed and these will be followed up by the involved parties to determine if they can develop into tangible joint projects. We thank our Austrian guests for their interest, and the Ambassador and his staff for providing us with such impressive venue, hospitality and professional organisation.
