Working with Academia
We support the development and routes to market of new research by boosting the commercialisation of your ideas
We have strong relationships with many research and academic organisations and have experience in exploiting the excellent science and engineering research conducted in universities and supporting the uptake of new technologies and solutions for commercialisation. We look to attract scientific and engineering disciplines outside the space academic base, encouraging them to apply their knowledge to space-derived challenges.
If you are developing a new idea with satellite data, our technical and business experts can help by supporting or collaborating where appropriate.

Space Enterprise Network
The Space Enterprise Network (SEN) is a new online platform designed to provide a collaborative, user friendly and centralised platform for the UK space sector. Designed to help connect a wide variety of organisations and individuals working in the sector across all UK regions, the SEN is the result of extensive research, scoping and development by the Catapult’s Regional Growth team (supported by the UKSA), in answer to challenges posed by colleagues across the country.
As well as connecting all commercial, academic, research and public sector stakeholders, it provides a location on which to store and share news, events, opportunities and resources. The platform also acts to encourage conversation and raise the profile of innovative projects and programmes taking place nationwide.
