Digital engineering and technology firm Cyient and U.K.-based business innovation support programme SPRINT (Space Research and Innovation Network for Technology) have formed a strategic partnership to accelerate innovation in the U.K. space sector and strengthen mutual focus on industry collaboration.
Announcing the partnership, Cyient on Tuesday said the partnership will enable it to identify new business opportunities, reduce product development costs and offer cutting-edge geospatial solutions with higher precision.
