Space East - Satellite Applications Catapult

Overview

Norfolk and Suffolk Space Strategy is currently in development and initiated by the New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) with the support of a locally led Steering Group. The Strategy will help to formalise a New Anglia Space Cluster which seeks to capitalise on and showcase the existing regional expertise in space services and applications, while harnessing diverse business capabilities across the region. The New Anglia Space Cluster is a multi-sited cluster with geographic concentrations of space expertise at Adastral Park, Norwich and Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft.
