Details

The UK space sector is important and is growing: it contributes over £7 billion to the UK economy each year, and has grown over 8% per year over the last decade. To grow UK share of the market, the Satellite Applications Catapult recognised the need to engage the USA (which controls over 75% of the global space market) and asked the UK Science and Innovation Network to assist.

Together, UK Science and Innovation Network USA and the Satellite Applications Catapult developed and executed a three-year engagement strategy for the Gulf Coast Region to identify the right high-value opportunities to capture a greater share of the USA Space market.
