Importantly, mapping regional strategies can foster a greater understanding of the region’s current assets and strengths, including future opportunities into which growth in the significance of a space cluster can comfortably slot in. Listing ongoing and funded business support programmes as well as capital investment projects across LEP geographies can help shape the scope of future business support programmes for any future regional space strategy.The project was led by WMREDI/City-REDI) and supported by Professor Kai Bongs (Director ofInnovation – College for Engineering and Physical Sciences) and Tariq Ali (Deputy Pro-Vice Chancellor for Strategic Partnerships, University of Birmingham, and Vice-Provost for Research & Innovation)The report was developed in partnership with the West Midlands Combined Authority, GBSLEP, the Black Country LEP and Coventry and Warwickshire LEP, under the UKSA Local Space Sector Cluster and Supply Chain Development Funding Call.This means that the success of our regional space strategy is dependent on our vision aligning closely with key regional strategies and priorities.
