Nowhere else in the world can you showcase so many space companies to the @SpaceForceDoD in a morning. Great to welcome the Galaxy VII team to @HarwellCampus. Discussed the challenges that innovative companies with world leading capability have engaging with Govt programmes.

[Gemma Wilson @HarwellSpace]

Fantastic to welcome so many people to @HarwellCampus today for SpaceTalks 3.0. Great agenda that will prompt lots of productive discussions. Looking forward to highlighting the Harwell Space Cluster and the 100 organisations within it that collectively employ 1,400 people.

What an inspirational evening! Celebrating engineering and apprentices, including @STFC_Matters Christopher Robinson. @DrEmilyGrossman reiterated the importance of diversity and concern about imposter syndrome, points I am sure @UKRI_CEO would agree with.

[Enginuity @enginuityorg]

The next award of the night is the Large Employer Apprentice of the Year, sponsored by Fuse Universal @Fuseuniversal. A reminder of our finalists below:

Always a pleasure to Showcase just some of the 100 amazing companies in the Harwell Space Cluster

[Gemma Wilson @HarwellSpace]

How does @HarwellCampus support innovation? How does @STFC_Matters identify capability that can be tomorrow’s innovative businesses? How does Harwell Space Cluster enable @SpaceCommandUK to understand commercial capability? Just some of the questions from the US War College today

[Gemma Wilson @HarwellSpace]

A pleasure to welcome the Canadian Investment Mission led by @tradegovuk to @HarwellCampus. Showcasing the amazing technology being developed by the 100 space organisations here. Fruitful discussions, visit to @RAL_Space_STFC facilities & a trip on @darwininnovate's shuttle

[Gemma Wilson @HarwellSpace]

Despite the pandemic, the Harwell Space Cluster continues to thrive: the 100 organisations that make up the Cluster now collectively employ 1,400 people (up from 1,100 at the end of 2019). See my blog for more... https://t.co/SP2t3fb8Kh

[Gemma Wilson @HarwellSpace]

Great to hear Harwell Space Cluster and a number of the companies within it mentioned by @spacegovuk and @STFC_Matters. Particularly around Space Sustainability @astroscale_HQ @D_Orbit @ClearspaceToday

It was a pleasure to welcome @CommonsSTC to @HarwellCampus yesterday and introduce them to a range of organisations across Harwell Space Cluster. It is a great place to understand capability and expertise from across the UK space sector. @RAL_Space_STFC @SatAppsCatapult @esa

[Science, Innovation and Technology Committee @CommonsSITC]

Yesterday the Committee visited @Harwell space cluster as part of its inquiry into UK Space Strategy and Satellite Infrastructure.

[Gemma Wilson @HarwellSpace]

Interesting panel discussion at #Appleton2021... completely agree that UK companies will struggle to sell to international Governments if the UK Government isn't a customer. Recent Government procurement initiatives (eg RM6235) are a first step. Looking forward to seeing more...

[Gemma Wilson @HarwellSpace]

Looking forward to a great conference and Chairing the second session. Fantastic line up of speakers... it's going to be a great day.

[RAL Space @RAL_Space_STFC]

The 17th Appleton Space Conference is today! 🎉

#Appleton2021 is our second online edition of this conference, and the first one that has welcomed registrations from the wider public.

We're excited for a very busy day of talks, networking and panel discussions! ✨

[Gemma Wilson @HarwellSpace]

It was great to formally welcome the Darwin Autonomous Shuttle to @HarwellCampus today. It will form an important part of visits to Harwell Space Cluster as it such a visible demonstration of the importance of space to us here on earth, today and more importantly tomorrow.

[Darwin Innovation Group @darwininnovate]

We're thrilled to announce the launch of the Darwin Autonomous Shuttle service at @HarwellCampus! We hope that this will serve as a step towards widespread autonomous public transport. https://t.co/eIhddPK4wY

[Gemma Wilson @HarwellSpace]

It is great to see such a tangible example of the importance of space enabled communications and positioning @HarwellCampus. I am looking forward to testing it out today.

I enjoyed Chairing a panel on skills last week as part of ⁦@the_MTC_org⁩’s Oxfordshire Future Manufacturing Roadshow. It was great to not just have the people driving the training in the room but those who are being trained too. Arguably their insights are the most valuable

[Gemma Wilson @HarwellSpace]

Taking a whole system view: enabling connectivity between different elements is really important to driving digital manufacturing at pace. This requires collaboration & conversation to understand each element. Something we do at ⁦@HarwellCampus⁩ every day.
