Member Event: Opportunities in Space

With cutting-edge research, strategic partnerships and a growing space ecosystem, the North East is on the brink of shaping the next frontier of space discovery. Whilst the sector currently employs 1,300 people across the region, ambitious plans aim to expand the workforce to over 10,000 by 2030. This remarkable growth presents abundant opportunities for North East businesses to innovate, capitalise and flourish within the region and beyond. 

At the heart of this evolution is Northumbria University’s North East Space Skills and Technology Centre (NESST), which will drive the future of space exploration through innovative research, skill development and game-changing collaborations. Northumbria has a strong reputation for working in collaboration with business to ensure its research has real-world practical application.  

This event will give you the opportunity to hear more about the developments at Northumbria and the wider space eco-system. You will also get to see some of the facilities that are currently pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in space technology, sustainability and satellite systems as well as the NESST development. Northumbria’s innovations are not just about theory - they’re about creating tangible solutions that will impact everything from climate change monitoring to telecommunications, and it’s happening right here, right now. 

Open to all members of the Forum, this is your chance to gain insight into how your business can tap into this emerging sector. You’ll meet the innovators behind NESST, learn how they’re shaping the space sector and discover how you can be part of this transformative wave. 

Tickets are limited so don’t miss your chance to explore the cutting-edge world of space technology and see how the future of space can be your business’s next frontier. Register today and be part of something truly out of this world!
