Richard Branson has become the first billionaire in space, marking a milestone in the global space sector and opening the door to a new era of growth. And Australian space-tech entrepreneurs are ready to ride the rocket ship.
That’s according to Troy McCann, founder of the Moonshot space tech accelerator, which has just secured $500,000 in funding from the federal government and private investors to fuel the next generation of high-flying Aussie tech.
Half of that funding has come from the federal government’s Incubator Support Scheme, and is paired with support from a consortium of bonafide space-tech experts.
