The 76th International Astronautical Congress (IAC) will be held in Sydney, Australia, with the countdown to this significant event now underway.
As a leading global gathering of the space community, the IAC provides a platform to engage with the latest technological advancements, academic research, industry developments, and partnership opportunities within the space sector.
IAC 2025 in Sydney is hosted by the Space Industry Association of Australia (SIAA), in collaboration with the Australian Space Agency and the New South Wales Government.
This will be the third occasion Australia hosts the IAC, following previous events in Melbourne in 1998 and Adelaide in 2017. The 2025 Congress presents a generational opportunity to highlight the rapid growth of Australia’s space industry and the critical role space-enabled services play in Australian society. The event will also underscore Australia’s commitment to integrating Indigenous knowledge and working closely with First Nations communities in the deployment and application of space technologies.
The Congress will emphasize the expanding influence of space across adjacent sectors including emergency services, healthcare, utilities, telecommunications, resources, manufacturing, finance, construction, agriculture, and Smart Cities, illustrating the essential role of space for both industry and daily life.
IAC 2025 will further support the advancement of space activities across the Indo-Pacific region, showcasing a broad range of space-based opportunities throughout the area.
