Connecting the region's space community

In November, the Australian Space Agency and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) will co-host the 30th annual Asia Pacific Regional Space Agency Forum (APRSAF-30).

The major event will be held in Perth from 26th to the 29th of November this year with special support from the Western Australian Government.

The theme for APRSAF-30 is “collaborating to build a sustainable and responsible regional space sector”.

“Space is critical to our national well-being and by working together with our partners in the Indo-Pacific we can develop capabilities that are important to our shared resilience and quality of life,” 

~ Head of the Australian Space Agency Enrico Palermo

A prime opportunity for industry

Save the dates to make connections and showcase your innovations.

APRSAF is designed to discuss, share knowledge and develop joint activities that support the development and growth of regional space capabilities.

This year's APRSAF-30 will include a dedicated all-day space industry workshop. 

For Australia's space industry it’s a rare opportunity to have all these agencies and organisations here on our shores. 

Meet with space agencies and industry counterparts from across the Asia Pacific to network and showcase their capabilities. Secure your booth for APRSAF-30's joint exhibition with the Indo-Pacific Space and Earth Conference.

The forum focuses on the use of space technology and know how to solve common regional issues in areas such as disaster management, climate monitoring, and agricultural best practice.  

With over 20 countries expected to participate, the Australian space industry will get to engage with top experts, participate in advanced technical tours, and expand their professional network.
