The UK’s space sector is a thriving and significant contributor to the national economy, experiencing substantial growth and investment. After the US, it is the most attractive destination for space investment globally.
With the annual global space sector forecasted to grow by up to 11% throughout the next decade, the UK’s space organisations have significant potential for further growth, investment and innovation around activities such as Earth observation, manufacturing and satellite connectivity.
There is, therefore, a clear imperative to attract and ensure a future pipeline of space talent in the UK. With the post-Brexit immigration system, there are now multiple visa options open to employers in this sector as well as to the overseas employees they wish to recruit across the panoply of skills, divided between ‘sponsored’ and ‘unsponsored’ routes.
