Space sector or technology commercialisation and development expertise: Organisations with a strong understanding of the space sector, space-enabled applications, innovation ecosystems, regional trade bodies, economic development organisations, and the role these networks can play in supporting business growth.
Market intelligence and company segmentation capability: Organisations able to assess different types of UK space businesses, including upstream, downstream, in-orbit services, communications, connectivity, ground segment, and space-enabled application companies, and identify which international markets are most relevant to each type of business.
Export, inward investment, and international business support experience: Organisations with experience supporting export development, international partnerships, soft-landing activity, inward investment qualification, business matchmaking, overseas missions, or engagement with public-sector trade and investment mechanisms.
International partner identification and relationship brokerage capability: Organisations with established knowledge of overseas partner networks, including trade agencies, economic development bodies, innovation agencies, overseas clusters, accelerators, anchor corporates, public buyers, systems integrators, research organisations, and relevant government or public-sector routes.
