EO is an essential component of the infrastructure and contributor of economic growth, data and science.

Success for UKSA requires growing existing UK strengths, seizing new markets and engaging the public sector as operational users.

Technology and business models are changing. Skills development is essential to deliver operational services to realise the benefits of EO.
