We would be delighted if you could join us for this invite-only roundtable at 23 Grafton St.

We have been asked at the D Group to support evidence gathering for work being done on the approach to the 'national space enterprise'. To that end, we've developed a series of guided roundtables designed to bring in cross-sector viewpoints as a challenge function.

Participants have been carefully selected to ensure there are both the key perspectives of sector experts included alongside adjacent sector and innovation expert input. The output will be a series of short white papers (and a synthesis report) which identifies gaps in our established narrative or indeed, the value in the space sector offering which is being missed.

This round table focuses specifically on how we strengthen our national space capability through a more integrated approach to civilian and military space infrastructures. It will ask the question: What are the obstacles to more joined up decision making and procurement processes across civil and military space government departments? The session will look at how other sectors have deployed a more joint approach across civil and military uses of capability, both successfully and unsuccessfully. Are there established frameworks through which these identified obstacles could be overcome?
