Entrepreneurial Masterclass: Exploring the boundaries of possibility with tiny spacecraft

The application of innovation and science to business is not straightforward. In this talk, we will hear from Professor Craig Clark, who will discuss how a small space company explored the boundaries of the possible with tiny spacecraft, changing the face of the space sector forever and establishing Scotland as one of the fastest growing hubs of space technology in the World. Following the talk, there will be a Q&A and time for networking.
