The UK Space Agency Accelerator provides support to early-stage space entrepreneurs through mentoring and ecosystem access, facilitating the transition from concept to commercial reality. Since its launch, it has assisted over 317 entrepreneurs and delivered 20 cohorts.

Participants have received more than 11,000 hours of mentoring, resulting in over £65 million in funding raised. The recent Explore and Leo cohorts supported 45 founders, leading to £2.8 million in combined investment and increases in monthly revenues by over £112,000.

The Accelerator has formed over 35 strategic partnerships and has helped shorten time-to-market for ventures by over 6 months on average. It continues to support new ventures through its other programmes, with applications opening in early 2026.
