UK’s Satellite VU chosen for Amazon’s Space Accelerator programme
Amazon has announced the first 10 startups to take part in its Amazon Web Services (AWS) Space Accelerator, with a UK thermal imaging company, Satellite VU, among those selected.
The AWS Space Accelerator is a four-week business support programme that is open to space startups. The criteria for entry was “seeking to use AWS to help solve the biggest challenges in the space industry”.
Specifically, there will be “an intensive, four-week program with AWS Cloud and technical training to help them accelerate research, development, and growth using AWS.”
It is organised in collaboration with London-based Seraphim Capital (which has its own space accelerator programme), an investment group specialising in the space industry, who will provide business development and investment guidance.
