Agenda

Scotland is home to a thriving space sector and a growing network of universities delivering space-focused education and research. As industry looks for a workforce equipped with technical expertise, practical experience, and cross-disciplinary skills, academic institutions must adapt through curriculum development, hands-on training, and collaborative research. This panel brings together educators, industry, and government to explore how workforce needs are evolving, what skills and training employers value most, and how Scotland can close remaining gaps. The discussion will focus on scaling the talent pipeline to support launch, satellite manufacturing, data applications, and sustainable long-term growth across the UK space economy.
