N-ACT Summit

11 March 2026, 8:30am – 5:00pm
Bradford Arts Centre, Bradford, UK

The Space Hub Yorkshire (SHY) N-ACT Summit unites government, industry and academia to turn UK advanced connectivity strategy into growth, resilience, and global impact.

Advanced Connectivity Technologies (ACT) are reshaping how we live, work, and protect our future — but how do we translate national strategy into real-world impact?

The N-ACT Summit 2026 brings together government, industry, defence, academia, and regional innovators for a full-day exploration of the role ACT plays within the UK Industrial Strategy. The summit will examine how future telecoms, terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks, and space-enabled connectivity can drive economic growth, resilience, and global competitiveness.

Starting from a national policy perspective and moving through to regional delivery, the programme will highlight how collaboration, clusters, and place-based innovation are essential to turning ambition into action.

Hosted in Bradford, the event will showcase Yorkshire and the North as key contributors to the UK’s advanced connectivity ecosystem, supporting commercialisation, skills development, and international opportunity.

With keynote speakers, expert panel discussions, and dedicated networking, N-ACT 2026 offers a unique platform to help shape the future of advanced connectivity and strengthen the partnerships needed to deliver it.

Designed for the people building what’s next — from RF & microwave innovators and telecoms pioneers to engineers, strategists and scale-ups looking to capitalise on the UK’s Advanced Connectivity push and turn policy into profit.
