Session 1 - Context
Aims and Introduction to the Space for Smarter
Government Programme (SSGP)
Sara Huntingdon, UK Space Agency
June 2017
Led by the UK Space Agency
Delivered in collaboration with the Satellite Applications Catapult
Aims of Today
- Raise awareness of the art of the possible
- Better understand how remote sensing and satellite applications could be used to assist with existing and future energy infrastructure challenges
- Highlight and explore current challenges within industry and the public sector
- Signpost opportunities
- Establish new contacts/networks
- Influence future direction and delivery focus of SSGP

Programme Origins
UK Goal:
£40Bn sector
by 2030
Civil Space Strategy Innovation and Growth Strategy Space Growth Action Plan
What is it…?
UK Space Agency led and funded programme
Established in 2014 as a delivery mechanism to enable UK growth
Government team based in Swindon and London
Delivered in collaboration with Government Services team within the
Satellite Applications Catapult, based at Harwell (more on this later)
Helps the public sector save money, innovate and make more effective
policy decisions using space, and indirectly enables wider sector growth
Works with industry, academia and public sector users to bring
sustainable operational services to market which meet a defined public
sector requirement
Covers all satellite applications – earth observation, communications and
position, navigation and timing – and associated business change
aspects
How does it work?
Raise awareness
Enable access
Demonstrate capability
- Discovery Days / Stakeholder Events
- Training / Topic Specific Workshops
- Conferences / Themed trade shows
- Cross Gov Engagement /Working Groups
- Joining up complementary approaches
- Exploiting wider industry business networks
- Providing neutral advice with reach-back to
technical expertise
- Signposting wider funding and support
- Requirements gathering and definition for
public sector
- Embedded resource
- Targeted competitions, capability showcases
and demonstrators
- Increasing application Case Study portfolio
Current focus Benefits - Optimising uptake of applications developed so far
Education - Space and Satellite Applications training package for the public sector
Influence - Future policy thinking via involvement in Cross-Government bodies
Delivery - Two strategic themes involving multiple users /departments
• Disaster Risk Management
• Emergency Services
Develop - Exploring appetite for new theme development
• Nuclear
• Energy Infrastructure
If you have user needs (or capabilities) relating to any of these topics
and want to explore how SSGP can help - we would like to hear from you!

The Market Programmes
Sustainable Living – looking after Earth and natural resources
The UN Global Goals highlight the need for sustainable development of agricultural land and resource usage.
They also highlight the increasing importance of monitoring environmental impact of human activities and mitigation of their negative effects. Focus on:
• Agri-tech • Water • Energy • Extractive and construction industries

Three WEF workstreams are each designed to support the strategic goals of Government,
Industry and the Risk Markets. By working with these stakeholders we integrate a network
of organisations to assess the key challenges that are in the national long term interest.

Session 4 – Plenary Discussion
Emerging opportunities for remote sensing
applications usage?
Which policy or project areas have clear
requirements that could be explored further using
remote sensing applications?
What barriers might be expected in the utilisation
of remote sensing applications?
Who has ideas/might volunteer project or policy
areas in which to test satellite application
feasibility?
