DATA.SPACE 2018 - The information conference of the new space revolution
Space-enabled data has the potential to revolutionise decision-making and innovation in a multitude of sectors. 
The DATA.SPACE 2018 conference, on 31st January to 2nd February 2018 in Glasgow will feature companies at the leading edge of the exploitation of new data from space and platforms for use within a variety of sectors including agriculture, aquaculture, energy, healthcare, transport, maritime and logistics.
Day 1 of the conference will look at platforms and applications, and day 2 will focus on global market opportunities. The conference will also showcase some of the most exciting new starts as the DATA.SPACE Ones2Watch in 2018 with marketing support, a pitch session on the morning of the first day of conference, a dedicated Innovation Zone for the Ones2Watch in the exhibition area, and enhanced access to Investors and potential customers.
