The Space Partnership brings together industry, academia, and government stakeholders to work together on priority issues to realise the ambitions set out in the National Space Strategy and grow the UK space sector.
The Space Partnership team draws on expertise and knowledge from across the whole of the UK space sector to identify these shared priorities, then propose collective action to the Space Partnership Board and once agreed, work to collaboratively deliver the activities identified. This may include contributing to policy development, proposing new coordinated interventions, and agreeing common narratives.
The Space Partnership, established in 2023, has built on the strong foundations (and lessons learnt) from its predecessor organisations:
The Space Partnership comprises a small independent team of people, led by the Space Partnership Director, that draws knowledge and expertise from across the sector to provide the Space Partnership Board with an informed analysis of opportunities and challenges.
The Space Partnership engages openly with the entire sector, providing opportunities for input from a diverse audience, as detailed in the Space Partnership Engagement Guidelines. In addition, the Space Partnership welcomes secondees from across the sector to be part of the team.
The Space Partnership is part-funded by government, matched with resource contributions from the sector.
As explained in the Space Partnership Terms of Reference, the Space Partnership Board is the mechanism to fairly reflect all stakeholders across industry, academia and government so that these shared priorities can be agreed and tangible proposals developed to benefit the sector across the UK. The Space Partnership Board has equal representation from industry, academia and government (3 votes each), along with an independent Chair. There are also non-voting Permanent Attendees who attend the Space Partnership Board meetings to bring a wider perspective to discussions.
