Space Hub Yorkshire is one of six projects to get a share in £500,000 from the UK Space Agency.
The announcement was made at Space-Comm Expo following publication of the government’s Space Industrial Plan, and is intended to foster collaboration between the UK’s network of space clusters.
Space Hub Yorkshire is part of Space North, along with the North West Space Cluster and Space North East England, and will showcase the region’s resilient communications expertise, attract inward investment and boost research and collaboration.
Dr Paul Bate, Chief Executive of the UK Space Agency, said: “With entrepreneurs and businesses from across the UK space sector at Space-Comm Expo, I’m pleased to announce this series of targeted projects to support the continued growth of our space ecosystem and deliver on the government’s Space Industrial Plan.
“Hot off the heels of the Chancellor’s Budget boost for Low-Earth Orbit satellite manufacturing in the UK, these new projects will help catalyse investment, increase collaboration and boost prosperity across the country.”
