British Science Week: How Britain can become ‘the world’s next Silicon Valley’
Summary
Since then, the Chancellor of the Exchequer has pushed for Britain to become ‘the world’s next Silicon Valley’, supported by the formation of the new Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT). Nadeem Gabbani, Founder and CEO of Exobotics said: “Celebrating the advancements in science and engineering is important to recognise the progress made so far, and how we can continue to innovate as a nation. Current partnerships and investors provide a plethora of opportunities through support and guidance, playing an integral role in the space sector in particular. More connections built between industries such as FinTech, agriculture, mining and telecommunications can help bring new, unprecedented benefits to grow both businesses and the UK economy as a whole. “Continued emphasis on science, from government, businesses and people is vital in order for the UK to achieve its ambitious goals, and investment and support in infrastructure from businesses right the way through to education will play a big part in inspiring the next generation to pursue science.” Exobotics is a startup company developing the next generation of nano-satellite sub-systems, platforms and operational services, dedicated to validating people’s ideas in space quickly and efficiently.
