Space – A growth market • UK Space Agency strategy – focus on growth • Global Space market predicted to be >4 times larger by 2030 • 85% of this growth will come from downstream applications • How do we: • Engage and inspire downstream sectors? • Ensure positive links between up- and downstream? • Industry-led Space Innovation & Growth Strategy recommended the formation of ISIC to • foster national and international collaboration and innovation • promote the development of new Space applications & services
What is ISIC? • Independent not-for-profit organisation owned and run by its members • Member organisations (currently 15) are drawn from Industry, Academia and Government • ISIC has access to the wide range of skills, capabilities and facilities contained within its membership • Members work together within a badge-less environment to engage customers to capture requirements and identify new solutions • ISIC accelerates innovation by brokering new relationships and providing access to facilities • ISIC works in partnership with the UK Space Agency and UK Trade & Investment, promoting UK space-related organisations globally and showcasing UK capability to overseas companies and organisations looking to invest in the UK.
Academia Vision: “To create a positive environment where government, universities and industry can work together to accelerate the development and commercialisation of space technologies and applications, creating growth for the economy.” ISIC PublicSector Industry
