To inspire, support, recognise, and celebrate diverse talent and skills necessary for the long-term success of the UK space industry.
Our mission
The UK Space Skills Awards ceremony will shine a spotlight on the vast array of skills the space industry requires and the exciting opportunities it offers. By celebrating the achievements of the individuals and organisations that make dreams a reality, we aim to raise awareness among investors, businesses, and the wider public.
Together, we can showcase how collaborative and creative efforts in the space sector benefit not only our planet and its people but also inspire advancements that extend far beyond Earth.
We are committed to shaping a positive future by attracting new talent from a wide range of backgrounds and communities across the UK, while fostering a sense of fun, adventure, and innovation in the space sector.
A catalyst for growth and innovation
Celebrating success on a national scale will play a pivotal role in attracting and retaining skilled professionals, while inspiring the next generation of talent to explore careers in the space industry.
The UK is emerging as one of the most promising destinations for private investment in space, driving economic growth and pioneering solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges — from climate change and food security to advancements in textiles, communications, robotics, and beyond.
Building a sustainable and inclusive future
For the UK space industry to thrive, it is essential to align education, training, technology, and business strategies. Strengthening collaboration and sustainability initiatives will ensure a responsive, resilient industry that boosts the UK space economy and enhances the nation’s workforce.
This vision can only be realised with a diversely skilled and valued workforce and a workplace culture that embraces difference, creativity, and inclusion. By working together, we can unlock the boundless potential of space for the benefit of all.
