Join the next wave of space innovators – Applications now open for the UK Space Agency Accelerator

The UK Space Agency Accelerator’s Explore and Leo programmes are designed to support early-stage space ventures at different stages of growth.

The Explore programme is designed for those with a solution applicable to space who want to explore commercial applications and markets. Participants will be pre-proof of concept and may not have a registered business. On this programme, founders get started with a focus on mindset, entrepreneurial foundations, and building entrepreneurial confidence.

The Leo programme is built for entrepreneurs who have established a commercial application for their solution and are post proof of concept. Through the programme founders are supported to take positive action and strengthen their route to market while building the commercial resilience needed to thrive in a competitive sector.

Both programmes offer a tailored, high-impact four-month experience featuring:

• Rapid insights from some of the UK’s leading startup and industry experts.
• Curated access to the ecosystem, connecting with investors, industry leaders, and potential customers.
• Strategic enablement through focused 1:1 support to build market readiness, strengthen execution, and translate ambition into action.

With 71% of participants reporting faster company growth and 88% gaining confidence to build their teams, this is your chance to join a proven accelerator and take your venture to the next level.
