New fund promoting international space collaboration launches

The South Australian Space Industry Centre, in collaboration with the Defence Innovation Partnership, has launched a new grant fund to support the development of innovative space capability.

Two grants of up to $100,000 will be available for the first round of the Fund to support projects that are focussed on proof-of-concept or delivery of space capability and have a clear commercial pathway.

The South Australian Space Collaboration and Innovation Fund aims to support the rapid transition of space technology to operational use while growing the South Australian space ecosystem through international collaboration.

Applications are invited from South Australian-based start-ups or SMEs in collaboration with at least one international partner organisation, with an emphasis on NewSpace technology.

Applications open on Monday 15 April 2024 and close at 5.00pm ACST on Friday 17 May 2024.
