Space clusters are integral to the UK's burgeoning space sector, supporting new and growing companies, building on local expertise and catalysing investment.

They are also playing a key role in ensuring that opportunities, investment and growth are spread more evenly across the whole of the country, as evidenced by the UK Space Agency's Space Cluster Development Programme, Space Clusters and Infrastructure Fund and UKSA Accelerator.

This is vital if the UK is to deliver the National Space Strategy, which sets out a vision for ensuring there is a thriving, resilient and well-connected space ecosystem across the whole of the UK.

Launched in March 2021, Space Hub Yorkshire is a coordinator of Space activity across the region, a catalyst for new satellite and geospatial data markets, a source of Space expertise, a facilitator of new collaborations, a driver of investments, a champion for Space start-ups and an advocate for Space research and industry opportunities.
