Name: Catherine Mealing-Jones
Job role: Director of Growth
Organisation: UK Space Agency
What is the best thing about your job?
The chance to play a role in a sector which has so much to contribute to human life, now and in future. Engaging with others to expand and grow that, and take the opportunity that brings into new parts of our economy and right across the country is a privilege.
How will robotics impact your sector most in 2021?
We are signalling in government just how important robotics is for space, whether for exploration, or for in orbit servicing and assembly and for a host of other applications in between. I expect the impact will be that we will continue to develop a host of ideas and opportunities.
What’s your best piece of advice to a professional in your field looking to invest in or deploy/implement a robotics solution?
Make sure you understand the challenges in the round. It is not just about the technology – although clearly that is key, but also about the business environment, the team doing the work, and the regulatory environment to name a few. But go for it, the opportunities are significant!!
Why are you looking forward to speaking at Robotics & Innovation Conference 2021?
It will be a wonderful chance to engage with others who are interested in robotics and innovation, to exchange ideas and to learn.
At the conference you’ll also be able to hear from NHS England Three, Sellafield, UK Space Agency… and more! You can view the full agenda here. All sessions will be available on-demand.
