The ESA Technology Broker UK will be represented at the Global Science and Research Infrastructure Exchange (GSRIX), which taking place at the Concorde Conference Centre at Manchester Airport on 1 December 2026.
GRIX is a new UK supply-chain forum that unites international research facilities, UK national laboratories, public sector research establishments, and innovative technology suppliers from across the space, science and engineering sectors.
Our attendance at the event will provide an opportunity for companies to explore new applications for existing technologies, identify potential collaborative partners, and understand routes into working within the space industry.
The GSRIX programme combines a supplier technology exhibition with pre-bookable one-to-one meetings, laboratory and procurement briefings, and networking opportunities.
The programme has been created to give companies direct access to the engineers, scientists and procurement specialists behind some of the world’s most advanced research infrastructure.
As well as offering additional opportunities for companies that have engaged with us as the ESA Technology Broker UK, attendees will also be able to book one-to-one ‘Meet the Buyer’ sessions with TWI Business Development Executive, Abbasi Gandhi, who will be able to discuss how the work of ESA Tech Broker UK can help you.
