Programme Outline

The theme for the 19th Reinventing Space conference is Strategic Foundations for New Space, and will focus on the ‘building blocks’ and the critical pathways that will take us from where we are today, towards future improved utilisation of space. The conference will include presentations and panel sessions across key topics on ground and space-based infrastructure and operations, linking humanity’s longer-term aspirations for how space can be used, and for the benefit of life on Earth. This year’s conference runs across two consecutive days, with the option to attend either or both days. Each day will consist of a combination of talks from selected presenters as well as dedicated panel sessions and Keynote talks from invited speakers on key topics to each day’s theme.

Day 1 – Strategic Foundations – key enablers, emerging capabilities, technologies/systems, services and infrastructure that form the ‘building blocks’ for New Space.

The West of England is home to a diverse space sector, with multi-national and SME companies active in the ecosystem; strengthened by one of the most capable aerospace clusters in the world. The region is Europe’s aerospace and advanced engineering powerhouse, with specialist expertise in areas including composites, sustainable aviation fuels, wing design, advanced propulsion systems and additive-layer manufacturing.

“We are one of seven regional space hubs in the UK supported by the UK Space Agency. In the last decade, the cluster has transformed into one of the UK’s fastest growing sectors. At the last count the UK space industry now employs close to 42,000 people in all corners of the country and generates an income of nearly £15 billion every year (gov.uk).”

Home to 11% of the UK’s space organisations and an aerospace and advanced engineering sector worth over £2.7 billion, the region builds on the strengths in other regional industries including digital technology, aviation, and defence. More than 50 of these are concentrated in the West of England, which acts as a hub for skills and business innovation.

The potential for growing the space sector in the West of England has been recognised through the development of the West of England Space Hub and the recently developed West of England Space Strategy.
