Over the past two days at ExCeL London, our stand in partnership with Invest Northern Ireland brought together 13 local companies, each one presenting its expertise and capabilities across the space sector and connecting with organisations from across the industry.

In January, we announced the Space Ready Programme, which was delivered in conjunction with Invest Northern Ireland and Space Professionals Partnership Ltd, and funded by the UK Space Agency’s Ecosystem Development Programme Devolved Administration Fund in Northern Ireland. It aimed to support Northern Irish companies to enter the global space supply chain. This week marked a key milestone for the programme as the cohort, now space ready, joined us at Space-Comm Expo Europe.

For the companies involved, SPACE-COMM has created opportunities to meet industry leaders, share their work and highlight Northern Ireland’s role in the wider space ecosystem.

The stand has seen strong interest throughout the event from visitors keen to learn more about what Northern Ireland Space has to offer.

Thank you to everyone who has stopped by and taken part in the conversations so far. We’re still here for the last few hours at the Expo, so if you’re attending this afternoon, call over to meet the NI SPACE team and the companies exhibiting at 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝟰𝟭
