Space East brings together 400+ organisations across Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire and across industry, academia and government. Connecting them to the peers, funding and backing they need to grow.

Space and satellite technologies are already at work across the region’s leading industries and organisations: defence & critical national infrastructure, food and agriculture, offshore wind, coastal and marine science, health and social care, and transport and logistics. Combined with anchor assets including Adastral Park, Norwich Research Park, Hethel Innovation, OrbisEnergy, CEFAS, the University of East Anglia and the University of Suffolk, Space East gives members a direct route into a genuinely connected space economy.
As the UK Space Agency designated cluster for the East of England, Space East is part of a national network of 14 regional clusters, with regional strengths in artificial intelligence, 5G communications, agri-tech, life sciences and quantum technology feeding directly into commercial opportunity.
