SMEs and Government Partnering to Grow Australian Earth Observation Capabilities

During this webinar we discussed how Australia’s Earth observation capabilities can be strengthened through the involvement of both government and SMEs.

Taking examples from diverse sectors explored models for SME/government partnerships that not only meet the working and operational requirements of all parties, but also support best practice deliverables.

There is universal agreement that SMEs will be important in the growth and development of Australian Earth observation. This webinar provided a platform to start a wider conversation about the practical aspects of realising the potential within our start-up and SME community.
