£600,000 Fund Launched to Support Space Sector (UK)

To help accelerate the development of a thriving, resilient and well-connected space ecosystem across the UK, the UK Space Agency is making grants of up to £100,000 available to local development bodies.

The £600,000 Regional Space Development fund will support the space sector at a local level by supporting the recruitment of Space Cluster Development Managers and pump-priming activities that create jobs and growth.

Local economic development bodies are encouraged to act as the lead applicant. However, applications from UK Higher Education Institutions, other research organisations, and industry will also be considered.

The deadline for applications is midday on the 20th September 2021.

The application deadline is available from the UK Space Agency website (link below)
