The University of Portsmouth will host a new centre for excellence focusing on satellite data, which is to be funded by Satellite Applications Catapult and the UK Space Agency. The centre will deliver a boost to the south coast business community, allowing businesses access to satellite data and providing the expertise needed to apply this data to create new products and services. Professor of Industrial Systems David Brown said: “To be leading this new centre is a great success for the University. The centre will encourage and promote collaboration between universities and industries, especially SMEs, which can only enhance and promote local economic growth.”
