Grants to unlock opportunities and expand Australia's space sector

These projects will support Australian organisations to conduct joint space projects and build valuable commercial links with the Indian Space Research Organisation and the broader Indian space sector.

The International Space Investment Initiative supports strategic space projects that build relationships with international space agencies.

An India-focused expansion of the initiative was announced in 2022, and will provide support for Australian organisations to conduct joint space projects and build valuable commercial links with the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and the broader Indian space sector. 

This grant opportunity aims to:

• unlock international space opportunities for Australia to work on space projects with India 
• expand the capability and capacity of the Australian space sector, and support job creation
• demonstrate the Australian space sector’s ability to deliver space-related products and services internationally
• support projects which help build a vision and a diverse, inclusive Australian space ecosystem that inspires businesses, the Australian community and the next generation of space workforce, researchers and entrepreneurs
• increase investment in the space sector, targeting the Mutual Priority Areas, as described in Appendix A of the grant opportunity guidelines.
