The South Australian Space Collaboration and Innovation Fund was established in 2024 to support the rapid transition of space technology into operational use while growing the South Australian space ecosystem through international collaboration.

The South Australian Space Collaboration and Innovation Fund is an initiative of the South Australian Space Industry Centre in collaboration with the Defence Innovation Partnership.
