Show notes

Developing a strong space community in all regions across the UK is essential to foster new collaborations and bring new innovations to life.

Over the past decade, the UK space sector has grown from a small group of highly successful niche companies, to a far reaching, dynamic and diverse ecosystem made up of entrepreneurs, academia and both large and small commercial organisations.  

New technologies and applications that are resulting from these collaborations are fundamentally changing how society operates while simultaneously raising the profile of the UK Space Sector.

Our host, Sarah Cruddas, is joined remotely from Oxford by Nafeesa Dajda, Head of Regional Growth at the Satellite Applications Catapult, from Cornwall, Gail Eastaugh, Programme Director at AeroSpace Cornwall, and from Scotland, Daniel Smith, Founder & Creative Director of AstroAgency.
