Australia and India are looking to expand cooperation in space, with satellite technology, launch capabilities and commercial partnerships among the areas attracting attention.
Australian High Commissioner Philip Green attended Bengaluru Space Expo 2026 with a 30-member Australian delegation and 12 Australian space companies, highlighting the growing links between the two countries’ space sectors.
The Australian delegation used the expo to showcase local space technology and expertise, with discussions focused on potential business partnerships and new areas of cooperation. Several memorandums of understanding were also signed during the event.
Speaking at the expo, Green said Australia and India brought complementary strengths to the space sector.
Australia offers specialised space technologies and geographical advantages, while India has established engineering and manufacturing capabilities that could support the development of joint opportunities.
The expo also provided Australian companies with an opportunity to engage directly with Indian businesses and organisations as the country’s space industry continues to expand.
For Australia, stronger links with India form part of efforts to develop international partnerships across the space sector and create opportunities for Australian companies to participate in emerging commercial and technological projects.
The presence of the Australian delegation at Bengaluru Space Expo reflects the increasing focus on practical cooperation between the two countries, with businesses and government representatives exploring areas where their respective capabilities can work together.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
