Details

The National Space Strategy sets the ambition to grow the UK space economy through catalysing investment and championing the benefits of space. Unlocking Space for Investment (USI) will play a key role in enabling this ambition, through the delivery of a range interventions.

There are four key interventions that USI is currently delivering on, the USI: the Business & Investor Pathway (BIP), the UKI2S Space Portfolio (UKI2S), the USI Network and the Space Investment Day networking event.

In addition to our key interventions, USI are developing plans for further work to build an end-to-end business development and access to finance offer to enable a complete journey of growth for space companies.

If you would like any further information, have any questions or feedback about these programmes, or would like to request to be added to our USI network, please contact the team by email at USI@ukspaceagency.gov.uk.
