Connecting the UK’s growing Space community with industrial collaborators, research-based expertise, investment opportunities and funders.
Developed in collaboration with the UK Space Agency and support from key stakeholders, KTN has comprehensively mapped the companies, universities, funding bodies and networks that form the UK Space sector. The new interactive tool is set to become a main point of reference for the UK Space Sector, mapping the capabilities of over 1000 organisations in the industry. We believe this tool is the most complete view of the UK space sector compiled to date, delivering high-quality insights and showcasing our excellent space sector across the world.
