The event will take place on 11 September at 2.00pm at Glasgow’s SEC.
The symposium will feature dynamic discussions led by a panel of distinguished industry experts. They will delve into various legal and commercial landscapes related to the space sector, touching upon topics such as regulation, financing space projects, AI, data, cybersecurity in space, and the intersection of space commercialisation and sustainability.
