Unlocking the Commercial Potential for Space-Enabled Healthcare

Day: Tuesday 30 September
Time: 16:55 - 17:40 AEST
Location: Parkside 2

Space technologies are playing an increasingly important role in the delivery and transformation of healthcare services, from satellite-enabled telemedicine in underserved regions to microgravity research accelerating pharmaceutical innovation. As health systems respond to evolving pressures and governments seek to deliver more resilient, data-driven public services, space-enabled solutions offer both societal value and significant commercial potential.

This session will bring together representatives from Government, industry, investment, and clinical sectors to explore how emerging space capabilities can address real-world healthcare needs and unlock new markets. The discussion will focus on aligning public funding, private capital, and user demand to support the development and adoption of space-health innovations.

Panellists will share insights on market dynamics, regulatory and policy considerations, investment trends, and explore practical routes to commercialisation., drawing on case studies and first-hand experience. The session aims to foster cross-sector collaborate and highlight the opportunity for space to drive both economic growth and public good in the healthcare sector.
