South Australian Space Collaboration and Innovation Fund

Supporting South Australia’s space innovation ecosystem

The South Australian Space Collaboration and Innovation Fund supports the development of innovative South Australian space capability.

The fund was established in 2024 to support the rapid transition of space technology into operational use while growing the South Australian space ecosystem.

The fund supports projects led by South Australian start-ups and small to medium enterprises that focus on proof-of-concept or delivery of space capability and have a clear commercial pathway.

The Defence Innovation Partnership works in collaboration with the South Australian Space Industry Centre to facilitate this program.

Applications for round 3 the South Australian Space Collaboration and Innovation Fund are now closed. Details for Round 4, including the theme and funding amount, will be released in the second half of 2026.
