PANEL: Space to Grow: Investing in Innovation, Driving the Economy
The space sector is a growing part of the UK economy, with increasing potential to generate high-value jobs, boost exports and attract major investment. Innovation lies at the heart of this growth, fuelling new technologies, business models and opportunities across the entire value chain. This panel will explore the support available for UK space companies to scale faster, access global markets and anchor cutting-edge manufacturing and services. The discussion will examine what’s required to make the UK space sector more attractive to foreign investors, drawing lessons from other industries and highlighting how to build repeatable frameworks that help companies grow more rapidly, secure follow-on funding and strengthen the UK’s position as a global leader in space.
