Space for Growth: How Do We Supercharge the UK Economy With the Space Sector?
Description
Space is already embedded in everyday life, but the full economic potential is yet to be fully realised. Our opening plenary will explore how we create sustainable multi-year strategies that drive long-term growth within the space sector and across the wider economy.
With the world entering a new era of transformation - political, economic, technological - our experts will examine how the UK can lead on innovation, investment, and standards around the five capabilities – domain awareness, ISAM, harnessing space data, PNT, and SATCOM - unlocking sustainable growth at home and global influence abroad.
