Some of South Australia’s most promising space startups will join up to 10,000 international delegates for the 76th International Astronautical Congress, the world’s largest space event taking place in Sydney in October.
AICRAFT, Blue Dwarf Space, HEX20, Paladin Space, Robinson Aerospace Systems and Safety From Space will all exhibit, showcasing their space capabilities after participating in the University of South Australia’s Innovation & Collaboration Centre’s (ICC) Venture Catalyst Space program.
The University of South Australia is combining with the University of Adelaide to form Australia’s new for purpose university, Adelaide University, which will open its doors in January next year. An Adelaide University delegation, including ICC representatives, will join the startups at the event, as part of the Defence SA booth.
Adelaide University’s Associate Director: Business Incubation Craig Jones says the South Australian presence provides an excellent opportunity to showcase the State’s groundbreaking space credentials.
“We are excited to attend this event representing the new Adelaide University, alongside some of the standout graduates from our Venture Catalyst Space program,” Jones says.
“Exhibiting at the premier space congress with some of the world’s largest space companies, provides outstanding opportunities for startups to demonstrate their cutting-edge capabilities.”
The current Venture Catalyst Space participants will graduate in November. From next year, the Venture Catalyst program will run under the Adelaide University banner.
