The theme this year is 'Space and Entrepreneurship' so we'll be bringing along two Scottish Space companies to talk about how they've set up their space businesses in Scotland.
We've partnered with Tech We Can and Ada.Scot for a primary assembly focusing on the technology used in space which will last 45 minutes.
SaxaVord Spaceport
SaxaVord Spaceport is developing a vertical launch site for rockets up in Unst, Shetland. These rockets will be used to deliver satellites into orbit around the Earth. Bryden will talk about how the company began, what SaxaVord do and why this is happening in Shetland of all places!
Skyrora
Join Derek from Skyrora to learn about Space & Entrepreneurship. Derek will be covering why their CEO founded Skyrora, why they chose Scotland for their headquarters, why there is a market gap in micro launch for small satellites (and what that is!) and finally for an overview of their most important milestones.
