Environmental Sustainability & Space in the South West

19 NOVEMBER 10AM

The UN Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) have been designed as a blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for us all. They address the global challenges we face, including environmental concerns such as climate change, environmental degradation, and diversity.

Here in the South West UK, local government, businesses and academia are committed to environmental sustainability. From considering solutions for green energy to the whole circular economy and environmental growth, organisations in the South West are developing innovative solutions to aid sustainable development.

A key benefit to this innovation is the utilisation of space based assets and space technology. Services such as satellite navigation, earth observation, and satellite communications all bring added value to environmental solutions – especially when combined with enabling technologies such as 5G, big data processing, artificial intelligence…

This event focuses on business engagement in the South West and commercialisation of environmental sustainable solutions which benefit from space based assets and technologies. Speakers will include businesses, academia and government focused on developing sustainable solutions through the added value of space based services.
