Committees

Scotland's space sector

Inquiry

The Committee will be inquiring into the space sector’s contribution to Scotland’s economy and how the Government can support this rapidly growing industry to become a world leader. We want to hear about the key opportunities and challenges for the Scottish space sector in the coming years, and how it compares internationally.

Read the call for evidence for more detail about the inquiry.

Following the announcement that a General Election will be held on 4 July, Select Committees will be unable to meet from 24 May and will cease to exist from 30 May until after the General Election. This work has therefore closed.

This inquiry is no longer accepting evidence

The deadline for submissions was Wednesday 13 September 2023.
