Contribute to techUK's first Emerging Space Tech report


In early 2024, techUK will publish its first Industry Perspective report on emerging space technologies.

This builds upon techUK's past few months of emerging space tech activity, including our Industries of the Future: Space webinar and Supercharging Innovation campaign week.

Scroll down to find out how industry stakeholders and members can contribute.

#SuperchargeUKTech


Structure

The report will set out the key emerging technologies that are set to underpin the space sector of the future, some of the industries these will likely transform, and what must happen to ensure UK industry establishes a lead in both of these areas.

It will include the following sections:

  • Strategy, policy and regulation (includes the National Space Strategy and regulators)
  • Emerging technologies (includes robotics, AI, semiconductors, 3D printing, IoT and advanced propulsion)
  • Industries of the Future (chapters on Satellites and Telecoms / Science + R&D / National security / Cyber / Defence / Transport & Smart Cities / Health / Manufacturing / Communication / Energy)
  • People (includes skills and diversity)
  • Finance (includes VCs and financial services)
  • Sustainability (includes space debris tracking/removal and in-orbit services)
  • International (includes partnerships, trade and best practice)
  • Recommendations for Government

How to contribute

Stakeholders can contribute by:

  1. sharing recommendations - these are specific actions you would like to see UK Government take to advance the UK's emerging space tech sector
  2. sponsoring the report, individual chapters or the launch event - similar techUK reports have received 6-8k views and we have several tiers of sponsorship available at a range of price points (more info can be shared upon request)

In addition, techUK members can contribute by submitting case studies.

Member case studies should illustrate how your company is harnessing emerging technologies to transform the space sector and/or ensure UK leadership. They should be limited to no more than 3 submissions per member, with individual case studies totalling no longer than 400 words each. Each submission must be for a different report chapter, as outlined above. Please include your company logo and author headshot.


All contributions should be sent to [email protected] by 22 December 2023.

Please email to express an interest in contributing prior to the submission date.
