The Space Ecosystem Development Toolkit (SEDT) is a practical, five-step framework that helps assess your ecosystem’s maturity, align stakeholders, and design high-impact interventions for sustainable growth in the space sector.
The Challange
The global space economy is expanding faster than ever, unlocking new opportunities for innovation, growth, and resilience. Yet, many developing nations risk being left behind.
Despite growing ambition, progress is often slowed by fragmented initiatives, scarce resources, and limited coordination between government, industry, academia, and development partners.
Without clear frameworks, emerging space ecosystems struggle to move from strategy to execution, missing opportunities to attract investment, build capacity, and deliver socio-economic impact.
The Solution
The Space Ecosystem Development Toolkit (SEDT) is a practical, five-step framework that helps assess ecosystem maturity, align stakeholders, and design high-impact interventions for sustainable growth in the space sector.
The SEDT serves space economies at every stage of maturity; however, for emerging nations, it helps transform ambition into action despite limited resources.
What You’ll Find Inside
The SEDT offers practical guidance to foster collaboration, reduce duplication, and drive coordinated action, ensuring every actor contributes to building a resilient, innovative, and inclusive space ecosystem.
Whether your ecosystem is just beginning or already accelerating, the SEDT provides the clarity, structure, and tools to move from ambition to action.
The five-level maturity model helps nations identify their current stage and outlines the capacity, coordination, and policy shifts required to advance to the next level.
Follow a structured yet flexible process that helps you define clear, priority-aligned objectives, choose relevant metrics, map stakeholders, assess strengths and gaps.
Access ready-to-use tools and templates to simplify every stage. From stakeholder mapping matrices to strategic intervention plans and MEL tracking frameworks.
SEDTs provides a complete, practical roadmap for nations seeking to unlock the full potential of their space sectors. Built around a proven five-step process, it combines structure, flexibility, and evidence-based methods to move from vision to impact.
