UKSA programme could help you pivot into the space sector
We’re excited to share that applications for the UK Space Agency Accelerator’s Shuttle programme are now open!
The Shuttle programme is designed specifically to support revenue-generating UK SMEs from sectors such as defence, energy, advanced manufacturing and automotive in exploring and capitalising on space industry opportunities. Participants will follow a 4-month journey designed to support their market entry into the space sector and unlock new commercial opportunities. Applicants should be UK-registered SMEs led by founders or senior decision-makers, with an active revenue stream, and ready to commit to the programme.
Shuttle is designed specifically for SMEs from outside the space sector that are ready to pivot. Whether they are assessing if space is the right market, or identifying how their product or service could apply, Shuttle provides insight, support, and connections to help them move forward with confidence.
