Cloud services company Mangata Networks has chosen Scotland as the location for its research and development activities, as well as space systems and core network operations.
Over the coming few years, up to 575 new jobs should be created as part of its new engineering and operations hub for satellite manufacturing at the Prestwick International Aerospace Park in Ayrshire.
The hub is supported by a funding and assistance package from public sector partners, totalling more than £83.7m from Scottish Enterprise, Scottish Government, UK Government and South Ayrshire Council.
