UK Space Agency goes global with 23 projects | Computer Weekly
"This £6.5m boost shows Britain leading the way in space innovation, said UK space minister Liz Lloyd. From improving mobile coverage to monitoring Earth's forests, these 23 projects will create jobs, strengthen partnerships with our allies and keep the UK at the cutting edge of space technology. It's an exciting time for our space sector and great news for British businesses reaching for the stars."
"As set out in the government's Industrial strategy, the UK Space Agency is increasing bilateral research and development funding with international allies. The IBF is regarded as a critical mechanism for this, providing targeted support for UK-led international collaborations, and building capabilities and partnerships across the global space sector. The funding was announced during the International Astronautical Congress in Sydney, and involves partners in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, India, Japan, Lithuania and the US."
The UK Space Agency has allocated £6.5m through the International Bilateral Fund to support 23 UK-led collaborative projects with partners in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, India, Japan, Lithuania and the US. Funded work spans autonomous 3D printing, lunar agriculture, orbital threat detection, biotech manufacturing, medical research and deep space radar, covering life sciences, communications, in-orbit servicing, Earth observation and advanced materials. The programme aligns with the government's Industrial Strategy to increase bilateral R&D, build capabilities and strengthen international partnerships, with aims to create jobs, support UK businesses and maintain technological leadership in space.
