Strive Notes

The Isle of Man Space Industry Group’s end-of-year dinner was an event attended by members of the Island’s space sector as well as many visitors from as far afield as the USA, Russia and France.

Since its inception in April 2006, the Isle of Man Space Group has had a great deal of success in establishing the Island’s reputation as a premier offshore commercial space industry.

This informal group comprises representatives from both government and the private sector and meets three times a year.
