Our monthly Space North East Cascade and Networking events have now gone virtual!

This will be an opportunity for everyone who are involved in the sector in the region to catch up on some of the latest space news, initiatives and events nationally and regionally, and also to network. The plan is to physically meet once it is safe to do so, but we will be holding these sessions online for the time being.

To be held on the last Thursday of every month, these will usually be one-hour sessions.

This month, we welcome Henry Sayers from the Department of International Trade to share the Government’s Covid Support Plan for the space sector and also the ‘Space Bridge’ framework to increase trade and collaborations between the UK and Australia announced early March. We’ll be featuring Newcastle-based company Ultramap, a world-class software and support services to protect the world’s most important surface and subsea assets, as our local spotlight speaker.
