NetPark is hosting SpaceTech 2012 - in Sedgefield, on Thursday, 9 February - and the event is devoted to "opportunities for business in space technology". The event Chair is Saleh Ahmed, Assistant Director of the UK Space Agency.
Space Tech 2012 runs in association with the Institute of Physics (IoP)
"Space technology offers a wide variety of business opportunities from the unexpected (concrete production, software, data handling) to the traditional (electronics, photovoltaics, instrumentation, sensors)," say the organisers.
"Spacetech will increase your awareness of the business opportunities and how to tap into them. If you're interested in the answers to the following questions, this event is for you:
* What activities are being carried out in the UK regarding space technologies?
* How is this market currently structured? What is the role of each participant?
* What activities / what influence do NASA and ESA have in the UK?
* What is the role of the UK Space Agency and what opportunities does this present?
* What kind of businesses are involved in development and commercialisation of space technologies / what is the relationship between them?
* What are the major international programmes and their objectives? Who is involved (which organisations and their locations) / what is the process for getting involved?
The event runs from 8am to 4pm, on Thursday, 9 February 2012, and general admission costs £58.80.
