Feature - Building a promising future for the space sector in the North East “The conference clearly showed the significant progress and collaborative efforts within the UK space industry. The North East is playing an essential role in this development.” Last month more than 200 people from across the globe, including international experts, academics and those at the forefront of driving the space agenda, gathered for the North East Space Conference, the tenth year it has been held in the region. The conference, which was sponsored by Lockheed Martin, The North East Technology Park - NETPark, Newcastle University, Northumbria University and Orbex, discussed a wide range of issues, including the changing opportunities for the sector in the North East, the work being done on creating an ecosystem for outer space, what the growth of the space industry means to local universities, as well as outlining changing business opportunities in the space industry. Lockheed Martin have also partnered with Northumbria University and the UK Space Agency to build the North East Space Skills and Technology Centre, a £50 million project that aims to create “a hub for space technology” and further unlock the potential of the North East space sector.

Space Agenda 2025, published by The Aerospace Corporation: "Space security, development, and exploration are critical elements of national policy and strategy. Inevitably, the presidential term starting in 2025 will include the need for many high-level decisions on space-related issues. Aerospace has created a series of policy papers—Space Agenda 2025—on issues already at the forefront, or likely to emerge in the next few years." https://lnkd.in/eBc3pVSQ

The recent North East Space Conference showcased the pivotal role the region plays in shaping the future of the UK space industry. With over 200 attendees from around the world, the event underscored the sector's growth and the innovative initiatives underway both locally and globally. Organised by Space North East England for the 10th consecutive year, the conference brought together international experts, academics, and industry leaders driving the space agenda forward. Discussions at the conference delved into the evolving landscape of opportunities within the region and the implications of the burgeoning space industry on local universities. Supported by sponsors such as Lockheed Martin, The North East Technology Park - NETPark , Newcastle University, Northumbria University, and Orbex, the event shed light on the efforts towards establishing an ecosystem for outer space and elucidated the changing business landscape in this domain. This gathering serves as a testament to the North East's growing influence in the space sector and the collaborative efforts underway to propel the industry to new heights.

The World Space Forum kicks off today in Bonn, Germany! I'm honored to be speaking on a panel about leveraging space technology for climate action. Looking forward to exchanging ideas with global leaders, experts and enthusiasts! #WorldSpaceForum2024 #SpaceForClimateAction"

For a limited time, you can download a free PDF of Asia’s Space Ambitions, a multi-author piece just published in 𝐴𝑠𝑖𝑎 𝑃𝑜𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑦 by National Bureau of Asian Research. It provides an excellent survey of the space aspirations of several nations. Authors include: myself (US), @lincolnhines (China), Saadia M. Pekkanen (Japan), Rajeswari Pallai Rajagopalan (India), Sangwoo Shin (S. Korea), Brian Gallant & Jordan Miller (Canda), Cassandra Steer (Australia), Hema Nadarjah (Singapore). I was quite honored to be asked to write the piece on US space efforts and plans and to step into the footsteps of the legendary John M. Logsdon who wrote that section the last publication. In 2020 John wrote: "𝘕𝘰 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘺 𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘜.𝘚. 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴.

Developing those rules, given the nationalistic character of current U.S. space policy, will pose a continuing challenge to international space diplomacy." I conclude with: "𝘍𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳, 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘢𝘳 𝘴𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘥𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘨𝘰𝘢𝘭𝘴.

Space technology isn't just about exploring new planets; it's about enhancing our lives right here on Earth. With an expected growth rate double that of global GDP, the space sector is a game-changer for global economic growth. 🛰️ This insightful piece, authored by my colleagues Alizée Acket-Goemaere, Ryan Brukardt, Jesse Klempner, Andrew Sierra, and Brooke Stokes in collaboration with the World Economic Forum, is a must-read for those attending the Farnborough International Airshow 2024, where it will spark discussions among industry leaders. 🔗 Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/g2m6iWzv #SpaceEconomy #FIA2024 #McKinseyAtFIA

𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 🚀 On 29 November, in the next EU Competitiveness Council (Research and Space) meeting, the space ministers will decide on reinforcing European Competitiveness, conclude on the Midterm assessment of the Space Programme and hold a policy debate on the future of the Union's space policy. 🛰️ I hope the Ministers can make some important steps forward in this meeting. We see more and more national space initiatives. All these investments must have their positive effect on the space industry. But scale and coordination is important in our industry. That's why we need a clear EU Space policy and strong EU leadership. #space EUSPA - EU Agency for the Space Programme European Space Agency - ESA
