Purpose of Presentation
• Introduce the
Technology Strategy
Board aims
• Introduce the TSB role
in Space
• Provide information
regarding the
innovation toolsets
• Introduce the Satellite
Applications Catapult
TSB vision is for the UK to be a global
leader in innovation
How can we help UK business
bring new ideas and technologies
faster to market?
What do the TSB aim to do?
• We help strengthen the global competitive position of our
leading businesses
• We identify and grow sectors and businesses with the
capacity to become the best in the world
• We nurture the businesses that can succeed in the growth
sectors of tomorrow
We consider….
Can the UK do it?
Is there a large market
opportunity?
Is the idea ‘ready’?
Can we make a difference?
Innovation Challenges
• Business investment is too low and too late
• Technical and financial risks need to be mitigated
• The time for financial return is too long for many players
• Innovation disrupts value chains and business models
• New partnerships are required to build new supply chains
• Investment and innovation is required at multiple points
• Longer term trends not visible to all players
• Impact and opportunities from emerging technologies & policies
• Innovation infrastructure complex and inefficient
• Fragmented and difficult to navigate
• Government does not make best use of its levers
• Procurement, regulation, standardisation, fiscal incentives
TSB strategic focus
Accelerating the journey
between concept and
commercialisation
Investing in priority areas based on
potential
Connecting the innovation landscape
Turning government action into
business opportunity
Continuously improving our
capability

Innovation driven by procurement: SBRI
• Using government procurement to drive innovation.
• Enables public sector organisations to procure new
technologies faster and with managed risk.
• Provides paid contracts for the critical stage of product
development
• Relaunched 2009
– 18 Government Departments engaged
– Major interest from other public sector bodies
– 42 competitions
– 1630 applications
– 519 contracts (>60% new companies)
Closing the gap between
concept and commercialisation
The vision: a network of world-leading centres
Bringing research and business together – accelerating
commercialisation
A £200m investment in the future of the UK economy - for the
long term
Choice of Technology Areas
• Broad Criteria
– Potential global markets worth £ billions
– UK world-leading research capability
– UK business has ability to exploit the technology and
capture a significant share in the UK
– Centres enable UK to attract and anchor knowledge
intensive activities of globally mobile companies
– Closely aligned with, and essential to achieve, national
strategic technology objectives

Tim Just
Lead Technologist
The Space Economy in the UK
The UK space sector contributes £7.5 billion to the economy
Direct employment is 24,900
80,000 jobs are supported by space activities
57% of staff are graduates
Value added per employee is three times the UK average
The UK space industry is six times more R&D intensive than the UK economy as a whole
The UK space sector has been growing at some 9% pa, and the UK has a 7% share of the global
market
By 2020, predicted to be worth £14.2 billion per year and supporting 115,000 more jobs
UK Space Innovation and Growth
Strategy
• Global market forecast to be
worth £400 billion by 2030
• Strategy to capture 10% of
market and create over 100,000
jobs in the UK
• ‘applications and services using
Space data will be one of the
most important elements for
delivering growth’
National Space Technology Strategy and
Roadmaps
• Based on the IGS recommendations
• Detailed analysis of sector
requirements and capabilities
• Divided into five areas:
