It started with the Harwell Space Cluster and now includes the HealthTec and EnergyTec Clusters. 46 Harwell Tomorrow 48 Contact I have watched Harwell Campus flourish over the last eight years, including the Harwell Space Cluster, which has grown to 92 organisations employing 1,040 people. I don’t expect there to be any let up in this growth and I look forward to the Campus changing, literally before my very eyes.

SPACE I am really excited about the opportunities at the intersections between these Clusters, such as between the Space and HealthTec Clusters. Harwell CLUSTER Campus is able to demonstrate multidisciplinary innovation every day.

There is no better way to really understand what is happening than to visit. I hope that you will do just that and that you will become part of the exciting future of the Harwell Space Cluster and help the UK reach organisations92 its goal of taking 10% of the global space market by 2030.
