UK Space Conference 2025 – space is closer than you think
Space is one of the UK’s fastest growing sectors, attracting more international space investment than any other country outside China and the US. The message for UK companies not yet involved – space is closer than you think.
In July, innovators and experts from a surprising range of sectors will converge on UK Space Conference in Manchester to understand the role of space in the next wave of human technological innovation.
What are the UK space sector supply chain opportunities for technology businesses? And what do those businesses need from the next generation of space enabled services?
UK Space Conference 2025 will examine why harnessing opportunities in the UK space sector is critical for the next decade of renewal and economic growth.
techUK is supporting on the planning of the 2025 UK Space Conference and feeding in the views of our members.
What to expect at #UKSC2025? Here’s a taste of the mission elements coming to UK Space Conference in 2025:
