The Centre, run by the Satellite Applications Catapult, offers specialised business and technical support for up to 20 early-stage businesses working in the areas of rocket propulsion, 5G communications and autonomous systems.

This Centre is supported by the European Regional Development Fund, Rockspring Hanover Property Unit Trust, Buckinghamshire Thames Valley Local Enterprise Partnership (BTVLEP) and the Satellite Applications Catapult.

This forms part of the Westcott Space Cluster and is the result of a £30m investment at the site by government and industry. The Westcott Space Cluster is particularly significant as it highlights how Westcott has come full circle in its importance as a research facility and developer of rocket propulsion.

The Satellite Applications Catapult is excited to be at the heart of the new Space Cluster at Westcott. We are committed to providing innovative ways to stimulate the growth of the UK space sector and the Westcott site is a unique opportunity to achieve that goal. The Westcott Business Incubation Centre is for companies working in 5G, rocket propulsion and autonomous vehicles. With all the support from our partners we are confident that Westcott will develop into a leading centre for space industry innovation over the next 5 years.
