The UK Space Agency has launched a new funding call to support the growth of the space sector and strengthen the whole UK space ecosystem through local space clusters. The Ecosystem Development Programme will provide grants of up to £60,000 to help space clusters attract investment and improve collaboration and connectivity across the UK.
The UK Space Agency invites proposals for grant funding to grow the space sector and strengthen the whole-UK space ecosystem, through its network of high-impact, locally led space clusters.
This funding call will support the network of UK space clusters to renew or procure dedicated resource to progress the following objectives:
- Catalyse investment into the UK space sector: create a favourable environment for local sector growth that immediately and directly catalyses investment into the cluster’s region or nation, from a range of public and private sources, including inward investment and contract revenue.
- Strengthen the whole-UK space ecosystem: further enhance connectivity between existing space clusters to streamline the UK’s complex space landscape and take advantage of shared expertise.
