S5 EP3: Catalysing Innovation in Space: Connected Capability Networks

In this episode we’re discussing the Connected Capability Networks – we’ll explore how the Connected Capability Networks function to connect diverse stakeholders and translate research into commercial opportunities. By linking complementary capabilities across the country, CCNs aim to address challenges with solutions powered by space technologies and satellite data, ultimately supporting the delivery of the National Space Strategy.

Dallas presents some of television’s most popular factual programmes, his immersive documentaries lift the curtain on our human planet, giving audiences of all ages and backgrounds an exclusive backstage pass to some of the world’s most fascinating stories, ideas and places.

Beyond television, Dallas is an author, speaker, and ambassador for STEM education. He works closely with several major outreach initiatives which help kids across the UK think creatively about technology and innovation. He works internationally with the British Council’s FameLab project, designing and running workshops for early career academics, helping them hone their science communication skills.
