Collaborative Space Innovation Can Build Sovereign Capability
The Australasian Space Innovation Institute (ASII), led by Professor Andy Koronios, is positioning Australia to develop sovereign space capabilities through collaborative research and industry partnerships. Recent initiatives include the National Digital Twin for Agriculture, which integrates satellite data to optimize farm management. ASII’s involvement in the SmartSat Cooperative Research program is accelerating the deployment of a domestic satellite constellation to handle the growing data deluge. Together, these efforts aim to secure Australia’s independent access to space‑derived insights and services.
