International Ecosystem Mapping

Understand and Shape your National Space Ecosystem

In an increasingly interconnected global space economy, understanding international markets is essential for unlocking export growth, attracting foreign direct investment (FDI), and forming high-impact strategic partnerships. Our International Ecosystem Mapping service gives governments, industry leaders, and investors tailored intelligence on national space economies — delivered through dynamic dashboards, sector reports, and ongoing strategic support, which can be tailored to meet the user’s needs.

Addressing Key Challenges

  • Understanding a nation’s space capabilities can be difficult due to fragmented information, we provide evidence-based data and visualisation of international space ecosystems to give you confidence in you your analysis and insights.
  •  Governments often lack a clear, coordinated view of their national space ecosystem, limiting effective strategy, investment, and cross-sector collaboration, we map national space ecosystems to uncover gaps, align stakeholders, and inform evidence-based strategy and investment.
  • UK organisations need data to inform overseas expansion and to identify trade opportunities, such as export potential, partnership opportunities, and supply chain sourcing, we identify high-potential markets, FDI opportunities, and pathways to support export growth.
