Accelerating the growth of Australian space and spatial industries to benefit our nation, our professionals and our communities.
BE PART OF THE NATIONAL CONSULTATIONIn this information age economic success, societal well-being and national security pivots around our ability to collect, disseminate, understand and exploit complex sets of data in a timely and effective manner.
Space and spatial capabilities are central to achieving this and can provide essential data and services to support areas of national importance such as land and water security, emergency management, and autonomous systems and smart cities management.
The ‘SPACE+SPATIAL’ Roadmap is being developed to:
the strategic importance of a strong Australian space and spatial capability
the critical characteristics of such a capability
the steps required to realise an integrated space and spatial eco-system that will be a key national asset
industry growth opportunities and propose actions to grow the space and spatial sectors
