It was a pleasure to recently meet with Airbus to discuss their plans for continuing to drive innovation in the UK Space sector.
I was particularly excited to hear about their Airbus Space Accelerator Programme. This provides academics and startups with boosts, supporting innovative work in the Space ecosystem.
Supporting local education at all levels, including in essential STEM subjects, and advancing space technology, are key to driving prosperity in our region and across the UK. It was also fantastic to hear about Airbus’s collaboration with schools, colleges, and universities, as this will help to inspire the next generation of STEM and space talent.
