Swedish technology and defence company Saab is looking to expand its role in the space industry through new cooperation agreements with several companies.

The company has partnered with SSC Space, OHB Sweden and Ericsson as part of an effort to bring different technologies and services together into integrated space systems.

The approach is aimed at combining expertise from different areas to develop broader capabilities for the growing space market.

The new partnerships mark an expansion of Saab’s ambitions in space technology as companies increasingly work together to provide more complete systems and services for the sector.
