Business Development Manager, Vito Di Pietro represented the ESA Technology Broker UK at Ignite Space 2025 in Leicester from 5-6 February.
Vito was joined by TWI's Associate Director for Key Accounts and Sectors, Rory Lipington, at the conference and exhibition, which showcased the space industry and aimed to accelerate growth and collaboration across the sector that is worth over £17.5 billion to the UK economy.

As well as taking some time to explore the event themselves, Vito and Rory met around 50 people at their stand, where they were able to discuss the work of the ESA Technology Broker UK to create routes for technology spin-in and spin-out between the space sector and other industries.
It was an honour to be able to attend Ignite Space and meet so many people within the space sector during the two-day event. We would like to thank everyone we engaged with during the Ignite Space 2025.
