Project delivery team – TSB led in next phase • John Yates – Project Manager • Michael Lawrence • Colin Baldwin (ISIC) • Keith Robson (Uni of Surrey) • Richard Peckham (Ukspace) • Supported by industry representatives:

– Matt Perkins (SSTL) – Nick Veck (Astrium Geo Information Services) – Mark Dumville (NSL) – Stuart Martin (Logica) – Paul Febvre (Inmarsat)

Project delivery team - Terms of Reference

• To work with the wider industrial community, research base and public sector to develop a proposal and an outline business plan

• Seek to gain broad support across the UK Space community

• Establish a consortium that will run the centre as an independent entity

Outline Business Plan will include: • Expanded vision and scope – confirm added value • Initial view of priority areas of activity • Plans for relationships, open innovation, knowledge transfer

– Existing facilities – Research base – SME engagement

• Milestones and deliverables • Sustainable Economy Framework • Risks and mitigation • Management and governance • Financial plan

Core Funding

• Up to £10m per year – Via a grant funding agreement between the TSB and the

company limited by guarantee that runs the centre

• The company will have detailed Articles of Association (drafted by TSB and agreed by members) that define the specific role of the Catapult centre

Note: grant profile and amount will not be agreed until the detailed business plan is signed off – target Nov 2012

The business plan needs to build on the case we made for a Satellite Applications Catapult

• The right time for the sector • Business commitment • Clearly defined scope and role • Critical mass • Step change in ability to commercialise research • Impact on UK Gross Value Add

Collaborative R & D competitions – an ongoing funding source

Future plans:- Space themed C R&D -technology -applications

Challenge areas e.g. Water, Maritime Galileo Masters SBRI (Government customers) SMART (for SMEs)

Plus potential to support EU Horizon 2020 projects

Building the Catapult’s research programme and core competencies • Explore priority themes from National Space

Technology Strategy • Explore promising service and application

ideas from OECD report • Prepare for (or follow on from) commercially

focused EU or ESA funded R&D projects • Work on industry funded research to explore

routes to commercialisation • Feasibility studies/demonstrations for

potential Government customers

Concerns of an SME

Addressing concerns = challenges for Catapult

Summary – a simple story

A Satellite Applications Catapult will ; • Provide the end to end infrastructure required to link

innovative ideas from existing players and new collaborators from outside the Space sector

• Prototype and demonstrate new applications – e.g. Mobile communications, Maritime safety, Air Traffic

Management, Climate and Environmental Services, Natural resource management

Satellite Applications Catapult Centre Governance

The Catapult network governance structure Advisory oversight committee

• Senior business-led board providing strategic direction and overseeing establishment and operation of network, reporting to the Governing Board.

Autonomous business-led supervisory boards and advisory groups in each centre

• High degree of autonomy, subject to core funding agreement and objectives

Small Programme Team within Technology Strategy Board

• Support oversight board & day to day delivery

Satellite Applications Catapult governance structure Business-led Supervisory Board Chair appointed by TSB CEO appointed by TSB/Chair Independent non execs - not from member organisations TSB representative Technical Advisory Group experts from the research base Industry Liaison Group wide range of industry representatives including ‘non space’ and SMEs Management Board full time executives – could be from member organisations

The role of the industry consortium – members of the company limited by guarantee • Commitment to shared vision with TSB

– Working with TSB to shape strategy – High calibre seconded staff – Are the members of the company limited by guarantee

• Alignment of industry and Catapult research programmes – Must have significant UK R&D activity – Prepared to commission work from the Catapult

• Help establish the credibility of the Catapult – Accelerating the commercialisation of research

• Long term commitment to UK growth objectives – Prepared to embrace an open innovation culture to help drive growth

What is ‘open innovation’? “Open innovation is a paradigm that assumes that

companies can and should use external ideas as well as internal ideas, and internal and external paths to market, as they look to advance their technology. The boundaries between a company and its environment have become more permeable; innovations can easily transfer inward and outward. The central idea behind open innovation is that in a world of widely distributed knowledge, companies cannot afford to rely entirely on their own research..”

Chesbrough, H.W. (2003). Open Innovation: The new imperative for creating and profiting from technology. Boston: Harvard Business School Press

Catapult Operating Guidelines

• Prepared by TSB • Describe the working arrangements between TSB and the centres

e.g. • Governance • Funding model • Metrics • Intellectual Property • State Aid • Communications and branding • Freedom of Information • Relationship with other public bodies • Sustainability

• Will evolve as the network matures

Performance metrics – will be agreed with each centre

Potential examples:

• Increasing wealth creation arising from effective commercialisation of new technologies and applications fostered by the centres

• Intermediate measures: • Value of work won competitively • Number of new customers, projects, successful projects,

new customers/year, etc.

• Sustainability should also underpin the business model for all centres
