OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Join us for the fourth Oxford Smart Space Event: Entrepreneurship opportunities and jobs in the space industry.
There are currently over 1,000 companies worldwide working to create the rapidly growing NewSpace economy. What was once dominated by only a few players is now a diverse ecosystem of businesses both large and small and emerging opportunities across multiple sectors. Space is now personified by rock-star technology entrepreneurs and New Space companies. These entrepreneurs and companies are driving the commoditization and monetization of space. Satellites that capture geospatial data can have so many different applications across different industries. Costs have dropped by about 60% to 80% what creates many opportunities.
What are the most relevant innovation opportunities?
How can entrepreneurs further explore these opportunities and identify new business models to create a positive impact?
What skillset is needed for entrepreneurs to succeed in this industry
Panel discussion hosted by Maria Zubeldia, Director of the Entrepreneurship Centre, Said Business School.
With speakers:
Harriet Brettle, Head of Business Analysis Astroscale
Joanna Hart, Harwell Space Cluster Development Manager
Rafael Jorda, Founder and CEO Open Cosmos.
