About Us
01
Mission & History
Founded in 2022 as the Scottish Space Network, we’ve quickly grown into a dynamic hub for all things space-related in Scotland. As the space sector continues to expand globally, we have evolved into the Space Network to reflect our commitment to fostering international collaboration and driving innovation on a larger scale. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to advance the commercial growth of the global space sector and integrate space technology across all industries.
At Space Network, we are more than just a network - we are ecosystem builders. Our support is grounded in three core pillars:
Support | Connect | Fund
We provide tailored business guidance, meaningful connections between talent, suppliers and intelligent funding solutions to empower space companies to innovate, scale and thrive.
Our values are the foundation of everything we do. We are Supportive, committed to helping people and businesses reach their full potential. We are Collaborative, recognising that great things happen when we work together. And we are Inclusive, believing that diversity in thought, experience, and background is key to the future success of the space industry.
Join us as we help shape the future of space and drive the next wave of innovation, growth, and opportunity.
