As a result of a pre-research done in 2008 on creating a cluster, in 2009 several Latvian companies together with research institutions agreed on creating Latvia’s Space Technology Cluster and signed cooperation agreements on participation in cluster activities. At the moment, approximately 30 organizations participate in the cluster. The initiator of Space Technology Cluster is Ventspils High Technology Park.

When launching an initiative of Space Technology Cluster’s formation in 2009, in collaboration with at that time potential cluster participants, there was drawn up the strategy, the action plan and the managerial model of Space Technology Cluster. This document determines cluster’s aims, tasks and achievable results in middle term and long-term, namely, for next five and ten years.

Collaboration and networking activities have essential importance within the framework of Space Technology Cluster, since the aim of them is to develop and implement joint new products and projects, as well as perform researches. In the same way, it is important to involve the cluster in the formation and implementation of national space policy, as well as in promoting collaboration between country of Latvia and European Space Agency.
