Modern life is increasingly connected, with ubiquitous connectivity sitting at the centre of many major technology advances, such as autonomous vehicles and connected machines. To ensure the UK can exploit these emerging opportunities, they are seeking ideas to help drive innovation in satellite communications in new and emerging markets.

Eligibility Criteria

• Telecommunications: ARTES is a telecommunications programme. Although this may include projects that support other activities, they should be in the context of telecommunications.
• UK-based organisations: To be considered for UK National Delegate support, organisations must be UK-based and, for commercial companies, must have a UK registration at Companies House.
• Essential non-UK spend requests: Products and services from non-UK suppliers that are considered essential to deliver successful projects, may be included in proposals. However, all proposals must demonstrate their value to the UK and non-UK spend requests are unlikely to score highly against other, UK-based activities.

Ineligibility Criteria

• Activities that are primarily for another purpose, such as Earth Observation or climate monitoring, will not be supported.
• Late requests will not be considered if they have not been declared and approved at the applications stage.
• The UK Space Agency will not fund marketing activities or undeclared miscellaneous costs.
