PROJECT TYPES

SINGLE PROJECTS

Individual projects are those focused on a particular company, fully tailored to it and its needs, and are carried out by experts nominated by the Executive Members.

COLLECTIVE PROJECTS

Collective projects are those that involve a group of companies, whether at a local, regional or national level, and that have a dual objective: on the one hand, to improve the industrial performance of small and medium-sized companies, and on the other hand, to optimize the relationship between small and medium-sized companies and customers.

Prizes

Faithful to its values ​​- experience, exemplarity and solidarity – the SPACE Association organizes an annual awards ceremony for its members in the presence of the main national aeronautical companies, taking advantage of the celebration of the General Assembly of Associate Members.

The objective of these trophies is to reward the members who have made the most progress in terms of industrial performance by carrying out an improvement project, regardless of the framework of the project carried out (collective or individual project promoted by SPACE, or carried out by the company itself).

This award seeks to value and recognize the efforts and progress of companies committed to continuous improvement and that undertake improvement projects, in order to encourage them to achieve greater quality and competitiveness.

Any legal entity carrying out commercial activity in the civil aeronautical sector and manufacturing products on board aircraft can be a candidate for membership in the association.
