Space – A Game-Changer for Mining, Medicine and Mankind

Join AmCham for a luncheon about how space exploration has the potential to benefit humankind.

The event will explore how space can advance mining, communications, and medicine. For mining, the potential to extract resources from places other than Earth, like asteroids, will be discussed. In communications, the role of satellites for global connectivity will be a focus, particularly around how they support the internet and navigation systems. As for medicine, the advancements in telemedicine, bioprinting and microgravity studies – and how they benefit drug development and our understanding of human health – will be explored.

Speakers at the event include Flavia Tata Nardini (CEO and co-founder of the South Australian Fleet Space Technologies), Tiffany Sharp (CEO & Director of Space at Cambrian Defence & Space) and Katherine Bennell-Pegg (Australian Astronaut at the Australian Space Agency). The head of the Australian Space Agency, Enrico Palermo, will also be speaking at the event. The event is supported by DWFoxTucker Lawyers, Sitzler and Legacy.
