• The growing relationship between Australia and Singapore and the opportunities for collaboration and partnership to support Australian deployments in the south-east Asian region.
• Lim’s history in engaging with Silicon Valley as a space-tech entrepreneur during his time in the United States and the challenges and opportunities facing entrepreneurs seeking to raise capital and build cutting-edge businesses.
• The need for greater government support for Australia’s space industry following a quick break out of the block and the breakdown of how revenue is generated in Australia’s space industry.
