Location:

Glasgow has a strong aerospace and advanced manufacturing community with world class small satellite manufacturers, HyImpulse's potential customers, located there. More satellites are built in Glasgow than any other place outside California, a dynamic and thriving environment in which to join a New Space company.

Ranked number 2 UK city for work-life balance (Startups Cities Index 2022), low housing and living costs, high internet speeds - a city internationally recognised for its openness, resilience, trust and friendliness, Glasgow is one of the top destinations for science, engineering innovation and design in Europe.

Glasgow's West End neighbourhood is popular with students and young professionals alike, while in the centre you'll find a mix of modern and traditional homes. Dennistoun in the East End of the city has recently been voted one of the coolest neighbourhoods in the world according to TimeOut.

From top events, attractions and cultural festivals to the city's iconic music venues, a diverse and award-winning food and drink scene and the largest retail destination in the UK outside of London, there is plenty to keep everyone entertained. Over 90 parks and gardens, city cycling routes, the River Clyde, and the Clyde and Forth Canal, offers urban tranquillity as well as the welcome buzz of a city.

Beyond Glasgow's thriving urban social scene, it is the perfect base to explore Scotland. Stunning scenery in the form of rolling hills, glens and lochs are reachable within half an hour's drive of the city centre and outdoor sports such as hillwalking, climbing, sailing, hiking and mountain biking are popular weekend pursuits.
