Space-Comm Scotland is the new catalyst for the Scottish space sector to do business. Cited the best place in the UK to reach in-demand satellite orbits with vertically launched rockets, Scotland’s space sector is rising faster than anywhere else in the UK, aiming to grow in value to £4 billion by 2030. According to data from UK Space Agency, 18% of all UK space roles are filled by Scotland’s 8,440-person strong talent pool.

The new regional instalment of the award-winning Space-Comm Expo, which takes place annually in Farnborough, England, Space-Comm Scotland will bring together the entire value-chain for two days of networking, thought leadership, and buying in defence, downstream data applications and upstream supply chain.

Following the success of Space-Comm Expo, Space-Comm Scotland is supported by the leading organisations and agencies within the industry, with UK Space Agency, UKSpace, ADS Scotland, Space Scotland and KTN named as founding supporters.

From satellite platform primes, satellite operators, military, government and application developers, this free to attend exhibition and leading seminar will encapsulate the growing space ecosystem, focusing on the small satellite revolution, the internationalisation of the value chain, the acceleration of spaceports and the increasing commercialisation of the sector.
