SUMMARY:Financing Space: options for SMEs and MidCaps in Europe
DESCRIPTION:At the start of 2021\, ESA\, EC\, European Investment Bank and European Investment Fund representatives announced new initiatives that show a strong will to support the growth of space start-ups\, SMEs and mid-caps through innovative funding and financial instruments. Growth areas include climate change solutions\, transformative digital services\, safety and security\, to name but a few. These funding and financing instruments will accompany space SMEs and midcaps over the next 3-7 years. \nIn this context\, this Financing Space conference aims to offer these companies in particular a chance to: \n\nGet to know the full panorama of financing instruments that space SMEs and midcaps are eligible for – This conference\, co-organised by ESA and the EIB Advisory\, will offer an overview of existing and upcoming financial instruments\, be they institutional or private\, European or national\, covering a diverse range of financing needs for SMEs and midcaps (grants & equity\, risk capital\, venture debt\, loans). The presentations will focus on the customer-facing end of these instruments\, on eligibility criteria and on channels to access them.\nMap out the financing ecosystem which covers space – Currently\, most financial instruments are not specific only to space\, and some have just begun to be implemented. However\, a number of financial instruments include space among other technologies they cover. Considering the difficulties for SME and midcaps face in finding their way in this complex landscape\, this conference will help participants to better understand who is who and what is what when it comes to financing space\, depending on their needs (risk capital or loans).\nLearn from hands-on examples – Investors will feature hands-on examples to illustrate the scope of the instruments presented.\n\nFurther information and event registration

SUMMARY:Mapping the UK’s Geospatial Future
DESCRIPTION:The online kick-off event for techUK’s Geospatial Data campaign will feature a 20-minute keynote from Minister Lord True of the Geospatial Commission about how the technology sector can drive forward innovation through collaboration with the UK’s geospatial data market and become a world leader in geospatial data. \nJoining the session include industry leaders from the Ordinance Survey\, Google\, Envitia and BT to share their industry expertise and knowledge from across the geospatial ecosystem. \nThis session will explore the UK’s geospatial opportunity and navigate why certain industries have been able to adopt geospatial data practices\, in use cases such as construction and transportation\, and what best practices can be shared to increase understanding of geospatial data for the technology sector. We will also begin to understand where geospatial data can be integrated into other forms of emerging technologies such as digital twins\, to drive forward the UK’s position as a world leader in geospatial data. \nA panel of industry leaders will address: \n\nWhat is the UK’s geospatial opportunity and what does this mean for the technology sector?\nWhat is the role of the technology sector in helping develop the UK geospatial market? Where are areas that technology companies can work with other sectors?\nWhat are the biggest challenges or barriers to innovation and how can these issues be addressed.\n\nRegister for this event
