Our vision is for the region to be an internationally recognised space region, inspired by local, national and global challenges to strengthen our security, improve the economy, the environment and wider society.

Space West is a regional consortium of academic and industry partners designed to accelerate growth and innovation in the space sector within the region and nationally. 

The Space West programme hosted by NCC and is funded by UK Space Agency, with founding partners of the West of England Combined Authority, the Centre for Modelling and Simulation, the University of Bath, the University of Bristol and the University of the West of England. Reinforced by strong endorsement from industry champions, the Space Cluster has provided the momentum for the development of an ambitious and timely regional space strategy.
