Introducing the National Space Partnership
The National Space Partnership (NSP) was created in 2021, as a progression from the Space Growth Partnership (SGP) and former Innovation Growth Strategy (IGS) which was initially created in 2010 between government, academia and industry, to set a plan for a UK space strategy for growth. In response to a changing UK space sector landscape, the NSP will provide a sector response to the first cross-government National Space Strategy.
The aim of the National Space Partnership is to be an independent, trustworthy moderator for government, industry and academia to accelerate the implementation of the National Space Strategy.
The team is led by an independent Partnership Director, supported by a team of sector experts and governed by an Interim Steering Group to provide guidance and expert advice on the direction and focus of activities.
