British companies are using satellite-enabled connectivity to accelerate the digital transformation of the European economy – as highlighted at an industry showcase held in the UK.
The event – which focused on the ongoing and successful collaboration between ESA and the UK – took place at the agency’s European Centre for Space Applications and Telecommunications (ECSAT) in Oxfordshire.
It emphasized the crucial role ECSAT has in promoting UK space achievements in Europe.
The industry day also highlighted the new additions being made to ECSAT.
In 2021, ESA began building a new conference centre that will showcase the global impact of the expanding UK space industry.
During the event, a topping-out ceremony was held to mark the progress made on the construction project so far. The centre is due to open in 2023.
