The Space Hub is designed to reflect the UK Government's dedication to becoming a key player in the space sector, with recent commitments of £1.4bn in investment. As the reliance on space continues to grow, the Space Hub provides an essential space for dialogue, collaboration, and exploration of future possibilities.
Our Space Hub is dedicated to the next generation of space capability, showcasing both upstream and downstream capability. It is one of the fastest-growing areas, showing significant buy-in from exhibiting companies and Governments across the sector.
