The UK & Australia Space Bridge: Building the Space workforce
Event description
The Government of Western Australia and Australia in Space presents a morning of discussion and networking on leveraging the UK-Australia Space Bridge to build the Space Workforce.
The Space Bridge between the UK & Australia is a partnership focused on facilitating collaboration between the two countries’ space sectors. The Space Bridge has unlocked improved access to trade, investment and academic research opportunities, better business advice, and innovative bilateral collaborations.
