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.

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
