Space Hub Yorkshire

The US remains one of the world's largest aerospace, defence and space markets, but breaking into the supply chain can be challenging. That's why we are encouraging ambitious companies from across Yorkshire & Humber to consider attending the Aerospace Defense Americas 2026 event at Farnborough International Air Show. For SMEs and scale-ups this is a rare opportunity to: ✅ Meet US aerospace and defence primes ✅ Engage with procurement and supply chain decision-makers ✅ Explore investment and partnership opportunities ✅ Learn how to navigate DoD and US procurement processes ✅ Participate in pre-qualified B2B meetings designed to generate real commercial opportunities Let's showcase the innovation and capabilities of Yorkshire & Humber on the international stage, the more companies we have represented, the stronger our regional presence and opportunities for collaboration. https://lnkd.in/ehnTUPGn

🚨 On June 25th Space4Climate are hosting a workshop called 'Space Data for National Resilience' as part of London Climate Action Week at the ICMA Centre. 🌳 🌍 🛰️ Follow the link to register - https://lnkd.in/e-tqTVes "Join this free workshop to meet experts from across industry, policy and academia to hear about current and emerging technology, tools and platforms that address real-world challenges of UK resilience and environmental security across all sectors - including yours." "Participants will take away practical, actionable insights into ways in which Earth Observation data has provided and can provide support to address issues, building resilience and security, and where to find those data and tools. You will feel more confident in exploring how you can access and use data from space and will have new connections to approach for further information. You will have the chance to express interest in taking ideas forwards or in collaborating on solutions."

Final call for applications to the UK Space Agency Accelerator 🚀 I’m lucky enough to be a mentor on this programme and have seen first-hand the ambition, ingenuity and slightly sleep-deprived brilliance of the founders involved. If you’re building something in the space sector and ready to scale, definitely worth a look. At the last workshop I attended, I must confess to struggling to know how to respond when one of the start-up founders declared that her technology allows gravity to be treated as a fully controllable variable… you certainly learn new things everyday! Anyway, applications close 17th May 👇 E-Spark (Entrepreneurial Spark) UK Space Agency

The UK Space Agency has launched the 2026 size and health survey to; understand the scale and health of the UK space sector, track the effectiveness of their strategies, and make decisions about where funding is allocated. Click here to submit your response to this years survey - https://lnkd.in/ew28sSHE The survey closes on June 26th!

🎓🛰️ Earlier in the year University students, researchers, industry partners and regional space organisations came together at the UKSEDS - UK Students for the Exploration and Development of Space Northern Conference to celebrate the growing role of student-led engineering in the UK space sector. The collaboration will continue this summer, as the participating university teams are set to support STEM Fest in July. Stay tuned to find out more! And for full details of UKSEDS and what went on please follow the link here - https://lnkd.in/e_EECrTN #Space #Careers #Engineering #University

We are very happy to work with Space Network on their incredibly exciting new Connect platform, which will help our organisations find customers, collaborators and capital through a global space ecosystem and B2B marketplace. Our cluster organisations can receive an exclusive Space Hub Yorkshire discount. Contact David John Brady or spacehubyorkshire@leeds.ac.uk to find out more.

A big step forward for Yorkshire’s growing space ecosystem. We are proud to share that Kirklees College will be launching the new HNC/HND in Space Technologies for England (HTQ) from September 2026, an exciting new programme designed to help develop the next generation of space talent right here in Yorkshire. https://lnkd.in/enEEs6GQ With the region’s space ecosystem continuing to grow, this course will equip students with the technical knowledge, practical understanding, and industry-relevant skills needed for progression into the space sector and related engineering fields. From satellite technologies to wider space applications, learners will explore an area that is becoming increasingly important to the UK economy and future workforce. It is also a fantastic opportunity to strengthen links between education and industry, helping create a pipeline of skilled engineers and innovators for the years ahead. This is not just about launching a new course. It is about building ambition, creating opportunity, and making sure Yorkshire plays a strong role in the future of the UK space sector. #SpaceHubYorkshire #Space #Yorkshire #SpaceTechnology #EngineeringEducation #HTQ #STEM #KirkleesCollege #FutureEngineers #Innovation #SpaceCareers

Yesterday, I was part of a research and industry engagement session at the University of Sheffield alongside leading RF and defence organisations, led by Eddie Ball. It was great to see the level of innovation being driven in RF and mmWave domains, alongside participation from several high-value space, defence and technology organisations. At RFTRONICS UK Ltd, we solve complex RF challenges, and I engaged with Professor Eddie Ball and other industry experts on advanced RF concepts we are actively developing. We are now exploring opportunities for joint research activities to turn advanced RF innovation ideas into deployable, market-ready solutions. There was also strong interest from defence organisations in collaborating with RFTRONICS UK on next-generation RF system concepts and leading joint R&D initiatives. We are committed to developing high-impact space and defence technologies and translating them into commercially viable, profit-generating products that contribute positively to the UK economy. If you are working on something ambitious and are looking for a strong RF partner to lead or support joint research and development, let’s connect and build something meaningful for the UK Space and defence sector.
