On Friday 22nd March, the Art of Possible team ran the first Art of Possible event of the year, with this also being the first online Art of Possible event. The event, ‘The Future of Space Data’ brought together experts who explored the adoption of space data across a range of sectors – from disrupting the e-fitness industry and improving waste management to tackling climate change and renewable energy.

With a brilliant lineup of panellists, an opportunity for Q&A and an interactive workshop session, the first Art of Possible event online provided a platform from which our attendees could learn, discuss and collaborate on this exciting topic.
