Global Space Economic Workshop in UK

On 18 July 2018, a Global Space Economic Workshop at ESA ECSAT in Harwell, UK, encouraged industry leaders to develop partnerships and foster disruptive innovation and commercial opportunities.

The event, organised by ESA in cooperation with UK’s Metalysis, involved more than 70 leaders from industry, academia, European institutions and the Harwell Space and EnergyTec Clusters. 

It addressed diverse challenges related to advanced manufacturing and materials, including in-situ resource utilisation, both for habitat construction on the Moon or other planets, and for use in the construction of satellites, spacecraft and down-to-earth applications.
