Enterprise M3 LEP is a business led partnership, bringing together private, public and not-for-profit sector organisations to determine local economic priorities and undertake activities which drive economic growth and productivity through innovation, job creation, improved infrastructure and increased workforce skills within our area. Its priority sector are various and range from digital & gaming, to space & satellite, 5G and telecommunications, animal health, and clean growth.
Enterprise M3’s space, aerospace and satellite clusters, with centres in Basingstoke, Guildford, Farnborough and Bordon are among the high tech industries attracted to our area, confirming its reputation for a strong knowledge-based economy, conducive to business-led innovation. The EM3 network of space and satellite businesses is currently valued at £9bn and has over 185 companies engaged in high-tech innovative work, employing more than 3000 local people. Our expanding space and satellite cluster enjoys high potential for growth, putting it among the LEP’s priority sectors which will help lead the area to economic recovery and renewal in a post-Covid19 world.
On this note, the LEP has recently been awarded £70k from UK Space Agency as part of its Local Space Cluster Development Project, and UK Government’s ambition to secure 10% of the global space market by 2030. Over the next six months the LEP, local government, industry experts and business leaders will come together to look at how the area can take advantage of the opportunities of the commercial space age, identify current strengths and set a strategy for growing the region’s sector further. This will help us affirm and formalise our cluster, generating more opportunities for the local and national space community, as well as attracting national and foreign interest.
Over the event, we aim to provide a quick overview of our space capabilities, and present the cluster activities we are intending to delivering as part of UKSA Project.
