Booked through Great Business Speakers, the boutique speaker bureau connecting top-tier talent with industry-leading events, Peake’s appearance promises to be the highlight of the headline event hosted by Inspired PLC.

Why Hire Major Tim Peake CMG for Your Next Global Summit?
When it comes to establishing immediate credibility, few speakers can match the credentials of Major Tim Peake. As the first British European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut to visit the International Space Station (ISS), his 186-day Principia mission was not just a feat of physical endurance but a masterclass in high-performance teamwork, technical innovation, and risk management.
Peake’s authority is built on decades of hands-on experience in some of the world’s most demanding environments:
- 3,000+ Flying Hours: A veteran test pilot and British Army Air Corps officer.
- 250+ Scientific Experiments: Orchestrating complex research projects in microgravity.
- 2 Million+ Students Engaged: A champion for STEM, demonstrating an unparalleled ability to communicate complex ideas to diverse audiences.
- CMG Honouree: Recognised by Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for services to space research and scientific education.
For corporate event planners, hiring Tim Peake through Great Business Speakers, means securing a speaker who transcends traditional “after-dinner” entertainment. He is a commercial strategist who applies the rigour of astronaut training to the complexities of digital disruption and sustainability.
Innovation and Resilience: Navigating the Energy Transition
At Energy Unplugged 2026, Tim Peake will deliver a keynote titled “Innovation and Resilience,” specifically tailored for the energy and sustainability sector. The energy landscape is currently navigating a period of unprecedented volatility and regulatory shift. To succeed, leaders must adopt the “Peak(e) Performance” mindset: a combination of meticulous planning and the ability to pivot when faced with the unexpected.
Transforming Fear into Calculated Risk
One of Peake’s core themes is the transformation of fear. In the vacuum of space, risk is omnipresent. However, through the lens of a test pilot, risk is not something to be avoided but something to be managed through innovation. Peake will share how the same protocols used to repair a malfunctioning ISS power supply can be applied to businesses facing “black swan” events in the energy market.
Unlocking Long-Term Thinking
Sustainability requires a perspective that looks beyond the next fiscal quarter. From the ISS, Peake witnessed the fragility of our planet firsthand: a “Pale Blue Dot” perspective that he now uses to advocate for climate change action and circular economy principles. His talk at Energy Unplugged will challenge delegates to move from intention to action, ensuring their organizations are built for the next century, not just the next year.
