a. To identify and penetrate new user communities.

b. To build awareness of the potential of space-based services among users who are unfamiliar with them.

c. To be an “honest broker” between ESA, potential users, service providers and other stakeholders who are interested in participating in the ARTES applications programmes.

d. To motivate players to submit viable proposals, and/or to propose partnerships with ESA, where IAP or ARTES 3-4 might be instrumental in meeting user needs.

e. To federate demand, creating a critical mass for the development of satellite applications that can lead to sustainable services.
