Details

The report finds evidence that the UK Space Agency is driving significant impacts in terms of the value of investment and income it brings into the sector.

An assessment of both national programmes and investment delivered through the European Space Agency found clear evidence of a link between Agency funding and new investment and income in the UK space sector, while many programmes are at early stages of delivery and the extent of impact is still developing.
