PANEL: Fostering the UK space economy
The new space age is key to developing new frontiers and limitless opportunities. The increasing private investments and commercialisation of space has opened doors for new possibilities in the space sector. As the private sector becomes the leading player in the domain, international collaborations with Governments and partners have become crucial to foster secure, safe and sustainable growth in the industry. This session will bring senior executives from the global space agencies to understand their views on the industry’s future and ways to stimulate the growth of the new space economy that is sustainable and reliant.

- Doug Liddle, Vice Chair, UKspace
- Rebecca Evernden, Director of Space, Department of Science, Innovation and Technology
