Our ‘Team Australia’ participation aimed to raise the profile of the Australian space industry, talent and capability.

Key events and activities at the 4 day Symposium included:

  • Head of the Australian Space Agency, Enrico Palermo participated in the Heads of Agencies panel alongside the UK, Canada, France, Korea, Germany and Japan. Enrico highlighted how Australia is creating meaningful partnerships with international counterparts in space.

The Space Symposium brings together all sectors of the global space community. This includes space agencies, commercial businesses, military, cyber security, research and manufacturing.

Held at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, USA, Space Symposium has brought together space leaders from around the world to discuss, address, and plan for the future of space since the inaugural event in 1984.
