International Space Innovation Centre (ISIC)

Thursday 10 November 2011
Harwell Oxford, Space and Innovation Campus
10:00 - 16:00

£8.5 million committed to growing the Space Industry,
attend our "two-way trade" event to secure your share

"The Space Industry is one of the world's fastest growing industrial sectors and an industry, where the UK is a major player, with many highly innovative companies based here. The space industry, like motorsport, employs the highest levels of engineering knowhow and excellence. The potential for mutual business development and two-way ‘trade’ is vast and untapped - that’s why, on behalf of Drayson Racing Technologies, I will be at Harwell on November 10th and look forward to seeing you there."
Lord Drayson, Drayson Racing Technologies
