About This Event:

The spacetech event hosted by London Venture Capital Network in collaboration with Level39 will highlight the opportunities, challenges, and ways for the uk to stand out as a spacetech hub in an increasingly exciting and active segment.

This event will bring together key stakeholders, including investors, founders, and industry experts to exchange thoughts and debate regarding the UK’s position as a global spacetech hub. By highlighting innovations, investment opportunities, and the opportunities of public-private partnerships, this event will attract top participants and may generate media interest as well. We believe this collaboration will enhance the visibility of both Level39 and London Venture Capital Network, while helping shape the future of UK spacetech.

Yes, it is rocket science! Spacetech is one of the UK’s fastest-growing industries. Join us at Level39 (22 October 2024 at 6PM) as we explore how (and if) the UK can emerge as a global leader in spacetech. This event brings together investors, operators, and industry experts to discuss investment opportunities, innovations, and the role of public-private partnerships in accelerating the sector’s growth. Whether you’re looking to understand if you should build a rocket, or are simply keen to connect with key players, this event is your gateway to the next big thing in UK space innovation.
