SpaceWERX successfully completed the capstone event for its inaugural Innovate to Accelerate (I2A) program on April 25. At the conclusion of the program, SpaceWERX hosted a demonstration exposition to connect companies with potential end-users, marking the first I2A Expo Day. This I2A cohort is a free 12-week intensive education program for SpaceWERX Tactically Responsive Space (TacRS) Small Business Innovation Research contract recipients. In this program, a group of 18 companies learned the specific needs of the technology end-users and received feedback that helped them move from idea to technology development. "SpaceWERX finds great value in programs like I2A that help to foster the space technology community,” said Lt. Col. Vinny Pande, SpaceWERX Ventures lead. The I2A Expo Day also marked the beginning of Project Vanguard: an AFWERX program which partners with the NSIN - National Security Innovation Network to give companies in the United States Department of the Air Force SBIR/STTR program access to private capital. This will help facilitate the transition from Phase II to Phase III contracts, and gives participating companies access to end-user input from the private sector.

"Spain’s Ministry of Science, Innovation, and Universities has published a €70 million call to support the development and maturation of disruption space technology. The Space Technology Programe (PTE) 2024 call was published on 18 May and aims to provide €70 million in funding to projects that fall within two thematic areas: New Space: Satellite Constellations and Bottom-up Space Technology Maturation. The PTE 2024 call will be funded under the country’s Strategic Projects for Economic Recovery and Transformation (PERTE) Aerospace programme. The programme aims to mobilize more than €4.5 billion between 2021 and 2025 to fund projects that will position Spain as a world leader in the aerospace industry. Project proposals for the New Space: Satellite Constellations theme will be focused on the development of new products, processes, or services that significantly improve the mass production capabilities of space systems at the subsystem or payload levels. Projects under the Bottom-up Space Technology Maturation theme will need to mature space technologies with the potential of being market disruptors, or that will fulfill a significant commercial demand. According to the call, €40 million of the total allocation will be utilized for projects falling under the Bottom-Up Space Technology Maturation theme, with €16 million of that being reserved for projects from small businesses. The remaining €30 million will be utilized to fund projects falling under the New Space: Satellite Constellations theme. The call also makes it clear that projects that are financed or could in the future be financed by the European Space Agency will not be eligible for funding through this initiative. Spain’s Center for Industrial Technological Development and Innovation (CDTI) and the Spanish Space Agency will jointly manage the PTE 2024 initiative. Under the initiative’s terms, work on the selected projects must commence in 2024 and be completed by 31 December 2026. Spain is bullish about space On 16 May, Spain’s Minister of Science, Innovation, and Universities, Diana Morant, held her first working meeting with the?Spanish Space Agency’s new director, Juan Carlos Cortés. Following the meeting, Morant explained that Spain’s space sector was key to the country’s economic growth. “The Spanish space sector is contributing to consolidating the economic growth of our country,” said Morant. “For every euro we invest in the space sector, we generate up to 4 euros for our country’s economy.” European Spaceflight

Opportunity for ?????????????? Scottish Innovators!?????? Access the ?? Airbus A310 ZERO-G microgravity parabolic flights to advance your R&D. The European Space Agency - ESA is inviting scientists, researchers and innovators to contribute to their ‘Exploration Science Programme’.

Fantastic news from the UK Space Agency in regards to opening regional offices, including Cardiff, around the UK: https://lnkd.in/dpM4inmU It will be interesting to see how this translates into a regional growth strategy for the space industry in Wales and connects with the Snowdonia Space Centre. For me the key agenda items for the space sector in Wales, and UK Space Agency to deliver through this regional approach include: ?? The need for further funded translational research and development to encourage more entrants from the native regional market and remove barriers to entry? ?? Engagement strategies to attract and connect non-traditional suppliers with space sector needs ?? Funded development routes for suppliers to encourage risk-sharing across the space value chain ?? Take the focus away from launch capabilities (big shiny!) - focus on growing sub-systems and components manufacture adn aligning this with the decarbonisation agenda. ?? Connect with key policy drivers within Welsh Government to ensure relevance (e.g. Foundational economy, green innovation, Well-being and Future Generations of Wales) Feel free to add your own thoughts below, and see how we have supported the Airbus Endeavr programme by engaging new and non-traditional suppliers in defence and space: https://lnkd.in/e__BfNUY
