As stated by Science and Innovation Minister Stephen Dawson:
"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.
"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.
"Growing the local space sector will have enormous benefit for WA, leading to more innovations to improve environmental and community outcomes, and boost productivity."
