UK Space Investment Forum
Space technologies are helping us solve some of our biggest societal challenges, and are bringing more returns to the economy than ever before. The UK is now home to over 1,700 space businesses, and represents an enormous commercial opportunity for the investment sector in the UK and beyond.
The UK Space Agency’s Space Investment Forum exists to connect investors with the increasingly exciting and innovative market, accelerating growth and catalysing investment into the UK space sector.
The Space Investment Forum brings innovators seeking investment face-to-face with investors looking to participate in this sector. The forum provides the perfect opportunity for participants to learn from, and network with, each other.
