A new business support programme has been launched which is driven and delivered by the Satellite Applications Catapult, which is aimed at accelerating innovative and commercially viable Earth Observation (EO) ideas into the market; for businesses of all sizes.

The Space Commercialisation Engine is here to make the space sector more accessible.

The engine is a programme that supports innovative EO ideas through research, investigation and development of an early stage prototype within an accelerated time scale. This process also allows access to networks of partners and looks to open investment opportunities.

The process includes a review of the commercial case for the idea and then develops from idea to early stage proof of concept within a 3-6 month period. Managed by the Satellite Applications Catapult, the Space Commercialisation Engine has access to considerable design and technical expertise, including cutting edge technologies from university partners.

The objective is to support and deliver an early stage prototype of your EO idea and bring it to market in a rapid timescale.
