International Space Bridge Series: UK - Australia

Come and join us for a spectacular panel discussion and networking session at the brand new Sydney Space Hub. 

A world first, the Space Bridge has unlocked improved access to trade, investment and academic research opportunities, better advice to businesses and innovative bilateral collaborations. The arrangement enhances cooperation between the UK and Australian space sector to work on space-related activities, from sharing Earth Observation data to collaborating on robotic and artificial intelligence.

As part of the ASITII 2022 International Space Bridge Series, this special networking session will hear from senior Australian and UK space sector representatives on insights into how the Space Bridge is being applied and activated.
