Conference:
May 16-17 at the Technology and Innovation Centre, University of Strathclyde
The conference - Space: Securing our Entrepreneurial Future - is open to those attending the Executive Course and anyone interested in the conference theme or associated research.
This exciting event will delve into the intersection of space technology innovations, cyber security, thought leadership and entrepreneurship, bringing together speakers from the world of academia, industry, and security to explore the emerging challenges in the commercial space sector.
The key focus of this conference is the increasing need to prioritise secure-by-design cyber security and resilience planning from the outset, in a rapidly growing space industry. This is particularly important as there is a global skills gap in both the space and cyber domains. By addressing these challenges and fostering collaboration, the conference aims to pave the way to work together to create a secure and thriving entrepreneurial space sector.
There will be a Civic Reception in Glasgow City Chambers on May 16 at 7pm and there will be further networking opportunities during the two-day event.

"Space is a strategic priority for the University and there is a definite skills gap in the cybersecurity sector – there is a global shortage of skilled cyber security experts of some 3.5 million. We’re focusing on an area that’s got huge employment prospects for our students."
