Case Study
Bringing space technology to Leicester – and beyond
Leicester is in the top 10% of UK areas in most need of economic growth, as published in the 2022 Mercury report. Despite this, Leicester has shown strong potential to grow its satellite data services and to exploit the opportunity of rapid satellite manufacturing, to boost local growth and create highly skilled jobs in the region.

Case Study
Catalysing private sector funding for the space sector
When the Satellite Applications Catapult was created, one of its first priorities was to address the lack of private finance in the sector. By working with the investment community to educate them about space, the need for a dedicated venture capital fund was established, and by working with the British Business Bank the Catapult stimulated the development of the first dedicated fund committed to investing in innovative companies in the UK Space Sector.
