Is space better understood as a standalone sector, or as a hidden enabler of fields like AI, defence, and sustainability? This fireside chat explores how the language we use to define space shapes everything from investor appetite to policy priorities and public perception. We’ll unpack whether framing space as “deep tech” clarifies its value or flattens its broader role in areas such as climate resilience, national security, and critical infrastructure. Join us as we challenge conventional labels and explore how a sharper, more strategic narrative could unlock the next wave of investment, influence, and impact for the UK space sector.
