Westcott Strategic Vision
This proposal sets out the case for establishing a Space Innovation Business Park (SIBP) at Westcott. It brings together disruptive innovation and large-scale production to create an ecosystem that provides a £1.9bn NPV and benefit to cost ratio of 2.5. The 600,000 sq ft development delivers 2,260 highly skilled jobs in manufacturing for the region and helps over 1,000 school leavers into work through on-site technical apprenticeships. The SIBP provides an interactive environment of innovation, training and continuous skills development that serve to heighten collaboration and maintain a vibrancy across the entire business park. The SIBP urgently addresses industry’s need to develop prototypes and scale for production at a single location, providing seamless transition from concept development to commercialisation of small satellites, payloads, and propulsion systems. The on-site facilities will encourage end users from the space sector, food retail and health sectors, to work alongside industry and academia to address global product and service delivery challenges.

Strategically, Westcott is the ideal location for space-enabled organisations to start-up, grow and commercialise with no limits to the size of their success
�
Richard Harrington, CEO, Buckinghamshire Local Enterprise Partnership
3.1 The story so far The UK is considered a highly desirable location to incubate and innovate, and in recent years the number of New Space commercial organisations has soared. However, with a lack of key infrastructure and an absence of the right talent, this growth is likely to stagnate and many of those organisations will look elsewhere in Europe, and the world, for alternative support. Westcott Venture Park played a key role in the First Space Age, with many of the key technological developments for rocket engines being proven at the site. It is now in an ideal position to support the explosion of the new space age in the UK.
In 2018, two new buildings were opened at Westcott, the new 5G Step-Out Centre and Westcott Business Incubation Centre. Funding was also announced for the National Propulsion Test Facility by the UK Space Agency.
Westcott is already home to more than 30 companies and the UK’s newest Space Cluster, which was opened in 2018.
In 2020, a new Innovation Centre will open on the site to provide grow-on space for small and medium-sized space companies.
Much of the site enjoys ‘enterprise zone’ status, making it an attractive location for companies to locate their operations.
Future investment will ensure Westcott’s place at the heart of the UK space industry, with the creation of a hub for advanced manufacturing anchored by major international companies. The expansion and growth of the Westcott site will continue to 2030 and beyond.
The site is critical to the Oxford-Cambridge arc strategy, which through the space sector aims to deliver 20,000 jobs across the ARC by 2030.

3.2 The Oxford-Cambridge ARC and BLEP Local Industrial Strategy The aim of the UK’s Industrial Strategy is to boost productivity by supporting businesses to create good jobs and increasing the earning power of people throughout the UK with investment in skills, industries and infrastructure. It outlines five foundations of productivity – ideas, people, infrastructure, business environment and places. Recognising the importance of place, Local Industrial Strategies have provided the local “chapters” of the national strategy, detailing how local areas will build on their individual strengths and realise economic opportunities.

The space sector is a UK success story, with an ambitious vision to achieve a £40bn sector and 100,000 jobs by 2030.
“
The international focus for the space industry today, is the commercialisation of low earth orbit. It’s the new space race Lucy Edge, COO, Satellite Applications Catapult

3.3 The UK Space Sector - vision and opportunities for launch and next-generation low earth orbit satellites
”
The space sector is changing fast and the increase in demand for satellite-enabled services is reshaping the sector and creating significant potential for growth. This demand is attracting new entrants, many of whom are focused on exploiting disruptive innovation to secure a share of the global space market, forecast to be worth £400bn pa by 2030. Two key factors have created this opportunity: 1
New small satellite manufacturing approaches. From launching tens of satellites per year, more than 1,300 are predicted to be launched in the next three years. The UK pioneered the development of small, low-cost satellites that are driving this global commercial revolution.
2
Growth in launch capabilities and reduction of cost. Launch has been one of biggest areas for private investment with $1.6bn in 2018. There is a strong portfolio of UK spaceports being developed, covering both horizontal and vertical launch. The UK’s aim is a vibrant market that covers different segments of launch needs.
In-orbit servicing of satellites, re-fuelling, satellite decommissioning and debris removal are all new, novel applications and opportunities being created. Ƥ The markets for in-orbit servicing and debris removal are both expected to be more than £4bn pa by 2030
Ƥ These opportunities are being generated by the introduction of indigenous small to medium launch capability aimed at the growth market of small satellites and satellite constellations.
Westcott Strategic Vision
Over the next 10 years, Westcott will become the UK Centre for the next generation of propulsion systems, small satellite manufacture and downstream service applications for Health and Agritech. This will facilitate the growth in next-generation low earth-orbit satellite design, development and manufacturing, generating a range of associated industry and infrastructure.
The initial infrastructure is already in place, with the recent opening of the Westcott Business Incubation Centre and 5G Step-Out Centre. To generate increased capacity for small and medium sized businesses at Westcott, work will shortly begin on the Westcott Innovation Centre. This new development is designed to provide grow-on floor capacity for innovative space sector companies.
The site owners, Patrizia, have already developed plans for the next stage of development at the site, to expand the existing space cluster to include advanced prototyping and manufacturing facilities, agri and health tech zones and an apprentice school.

Westcott Strategic Vision
The site at Westcott, with its enterprise zone status has already been identified by BLEP as being particularly wellsuited to higher level specialist production, technology readiness level testing and demonstration activities.
As discussed in this document, Westcott will become the UK centre for UK launch and in-orbit services. We have designed a phased approach to delivery of this goal, which will ensure the site is sustainable, and aligned to the local Industrial Strategy and the ARC plan. At the heart of this development will be the construction of a two part Disruptive Innovation for Space Centre (DISC), one focused on the Upstream space sector, the other on downstream applications of satellites.
Phase 1 takes place from 20202025. This establishes the basis of the Space Innovation Business Park at Westcott and will see the opening of DISC to attract not just industry supplychains, but also end users who want to work collaboratively on shaping and influencing the next generation of products and service solutions. During this phase of development, we will also create an agri zone and health zone, looking specifically at the opportunities those markets present for space-enabled businesses. Key to this phase is also the creation of an apprentice school that will enable school leavers to access employment from day 1. The approach adopted will ensure young people have access to world class supply-chains to help develop new skills and knowledge within a vibrant and progressive work environment.
19.
4.1 Delivery theme and objectives Phase 2 runs from 2023-2026 and will embed large-scale, high-value manufacturing at Westcott, with a first major international company occupying the site. This will enable the expansion of the apprentice school, start to develop the supply chain for the site and will also see the co-location of a Robotics and AI technology centre run as a joint venture between Oxford and Cambridge Universities.
With the space cluster now supporting 1,000 jobs, phase 3 will see the growth of the manufacturing hub to support the rapidly expanding UK launch market. Between 2026 and 2030 this will drive the creation of an additional 1,000 jobs on the site, and ÂŁ1.9bn NPV.
