The focus of the discussion will explore the heterogeneity of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) working in and across the space economy. In particular, the session will explore the need to build the capacity of SMEs to engage with the space economy, including the problems and challenges that businesses face.

The speakers will also explore the need to connect both emerging and established clusters comprising the space economy in the UK, helping small businesses engage with larger businesses and establish themselves in national and international markets and supply chains.
