“The highest growth space markets over the next two decades will be in space-based services and applications using space data, services and infrastructure.”
“The greatest challenge now is for the space industry to become more outward looking. It needs to ‘reach out’ to other sectors of the UK and global economy that can benefit from space applications, data and services. The aim should be to create a space enabled economy where space components provide new advantages that lead to growth, new jobs and increased market share in areas not traditionally linked to space.”
