We’re marking the 50th episode of Disruptive by Barclays Eagle Labs by diving into the UK space tech sector.
In this episode, Stephen Brown, Director of Barclays Eagle Labs, is joined by Stuart Preston, founder and CEO of Ochil Astronautics, to discuss how space innovation is evolving.
Stuart shares the story behind building Ochil Astronautics and how his transition from military service to startup founder has shaped the company’s mission and culture. The conversation looks at Ochil’s work on food production for extreme environments, why this research matters and how space technology is increasingly influencing everyday industries.
The episode also offers a frank look at what it takes to scale a space tech startup in the UK, the strengths veterans bring to entrepreneurship, and practical advice for founders operating at the edge of innovation.
