This event is part of the UK Space Agency’s Unlocking Space for Business Programme, organised in partnership with the Satellite Applications Catapult and PWC.

At this event, representatives from the maritime sector will highlight key issues affecting commercial operations. The event format aims to foster a meaningful dialogue between satellite service companies and owners of maritime challenges, stimulating collaboration and insights.

With evolving challenges ranging from security threats, disruption to supply chains and shipping routes, digitisation and crew shortages, tighter regulations impacting emissions, nature conservation and ESG issues, all within a constrained economic climate, it is vital to harness satellite data to keep ahead of the challenges.
The use of satellite services that include Position, Navigation and Timing, Earth Observation and Global Communications is well established in the maritime industry, but the increasing tempo and severity of challenges needs the maritime and space sectors to work in tandem, using new satellite applications to address future challenges.

Who should attend this event?

Commercial and technical executives of ship management companies, port and logistics operators, insurers regulators and the broader maritime industry supply chain.
Business Development and technical leads from companies using satellite data and services to provide solutions for maritime and transport logistics industries.

Unlocking Space for Business is a new UK Space Agency programme supporting companies to deliver operational, customer and environmental benefits through the use of innovative satellite data and services.
