Industry impact

The UK Space Industry impacts our everyday lives and helps to protect our planet through protecting ecosystems and by improving food production and sustainability. Satellite data helps to track and monitor endangered species on land and in the seas; combat deforestation; and also supports our farmers through helping to improve soil health and by promoting biodiversity.

Recognising the range of industries, lives and communities that benefit from the Space industry, the Hazels challenge traditional perceptions of space careers by showcasing the diverse skills and people essential to the success and longevity of the UK space industry.

From seamstresses and pattern cutters to engineers, scientists, designers, and innovators, the awards celebrate the often-overlooked contributions that make space exploration possible. By amplifying these stories, The Hazels inspire fresh talent, attract investment, and demonstrate the vast range of opportunities available in the sector.

Through a focus on inclusivity and cross-disciplinary collaboration, The Hazels foster a more dynamic and resilient industry. By recognising excellence in all its forms, they encourage organisations to broaden their perspective on what it takes to drive innovation and progress in space.

The Hazels not only celebrate the achievements of today but also shape the aspirations of tomorrow, ensuring the UK space industry remains at the forefront of global innovation.
