Australia-Korea industry forum to connect Space and AI technologies
Australian, especially Griffith University (GU)’s, research capabilities in AI are highly recognised worldwide. According to a report from the Korean Software Policy and Research Institute, the Griffith AI team was ranked world’s top 17 (Harvard 23).
Since 1989, Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) has operated about 30 medium and large size satellites. GU has been working with KARI and Korean space companies very actively on satellite data over the last five years. As the Australian Space Agency was launched in 2018 and the space industry grows in Australia, the interest and demand of collaboration are also growing very fast in this field.
The Australia-Korea Space Forum (AKSF) was successfully held at both GU (Australia) and KARI (Korea) with the support of the AKF2020 grant in June 2021. Over 5000 audiences from both countries watched on YouTube channels and we have been receiving many enquiries about the next event.
Based on the strengths of both countries and demands after the AKSF event, this project will build an industry forum which can produce practical and tangible results. This idea is strongly supported by GU, Fireball, Gilmour Space Technologies, Soletop, CSIRO, ASA, Austrade, KARI, KAIST, Korean ICT and the Korean Embassy in Canberra.
