The Western Australian Government is inviting local organisations in the space sector to submit an expression of interest (EOI) to join its delegation to the International Astronautical Congress (IAC 2025).
IAC 2025 is organised by the International Astronautical Federation and gathers leaders, experts, and enthusiasts from the global space community to share achievements and opportunities in space exploration and technology.
This year’s IAC is being held in Sydney and runs between September 29 to October 3, 2025.
It is expected about 10,000 attendees from up to 100 countries will walk through the doors at IAC 2025.
The WA stand is set to hold a key position in the Australia Zone at IAC 2025 with space for co-exhibitor pods and ‘rovers’ from up to 20 Western Australia organisations.
“Attending the International Astronautical Congress as part of the WA Government’s delegation is a fantastic opportunity for our local space sector organisations to showcase their innovation and activities to the international space sector,” said Science and Innovation Minister Stephen Dawson.
“IAC has been running for over 75 years and this year is being held in Sydney, allowing a large focus to be put on Australian innovation in space and the significant benefits space data, services and technology provides to our everyday lives,” the minister added.
“Growing the local space sector will have enormous benefit for WA, leading to more innovations to improve environmental and community outcomes, and boost productivity.”
Interested organisations can submit their EOIs via the Western Australia Government website. Applications close on May 30, 2025.
