The New Private Sector Space Race
at Savile Club, Mayfair

The space sector is no longer the sole preserve of government agencies. Private companies have entered the domain and are moving the sector forward at breathtaking speed. As major space institutions move beyond low Earth orbit towards new frontiers, a vast commercial opportunity is emerging -  far beyond rockets and satellites. The opportunities aren’t just in space technology - but in the broader supporting industries, from data centres to infrastructure, on-orbit research and production of superalloys, next-gen computing and asteroid mining. For the UK in particular, now is a unique time to become a global leader in space technology.
