AAIS was pleased to be a Strategic Partner for SatelliteAsia 2026, held at the Singapore Expo from 20 to 22 May.

Part of Asia Tech x Singapore (ATxSG) organised by the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) and Informa, SatelliteAsia is one of the region’s leading gatherings for the satellite and space communications community, bringing together global providers, technology leaders, policymakers, and end-users to explore the latest developments shaping the sector.

It was a fruitful week for the Association. Through our exhibition booth at SatelliteAsia, we engaged with global companies and stakeholders. We were pleased to share about Singapore’s growing space ecosystem, as well as the opportunities for collaboration and exchange.

Visitors also picked up copies of the Singapore Space Industry Directory 2025–2026, in its second print run due to strong industry demand, alongside the latest issue of Aerospace Singapore magazine, which features a special focus on the rapidly expanding space ecosystem across the Asia-Pacific region.

  

AAIS was also glad to support a roundtable session organised by Space Faculty, which brought together students and industry professionals, with Estella Teh, Assistant Manager (Membership & Communications), sharing her insights and experiences with student participants. It was the perfect platform for exchanging experiences and discussing career opportunities in the emerging commercial space sector.

Beyond the exhibition floor, the week provided valuable opportunities to strengthen international connections. We were pleased to meet visiting delegations and industry leaders, including Mr DS Govindrajan, Board member of SatCom Industry Association (SIA-India), who shared developments on the newly established Centre of Excellence for Space Technology in Bangalore, India. The initiative by the Karnataka state government aims to support startup incubation, research and innovation, skills development, academia-industry collaboration, and international partnerships in both upstream and downstream space technology segments.

AAIS was also pleased to support the ATxSG Canada networking event featuring companies from Quebec, Alberta, and Ontario. During the event, AAIS Chief Executive Mr Chew Hwee Yong delivered a keynote with insights on Singapore’s growing space and technology ecosystem, while reaffirming the importance of international collaboration in advancing innovation and industry growth. He also recognised Canada’s significant contributions to space exploration, including its participation in the Artemis II mission. The event facilitated meaningful exchanges between Canadian and Singapore stakeholders on emerging opportunities and developments across the global space economy.

  

We look forward to continue connecting local and international stakeholders, fostering partnerships, and supporting the development of a vibrant and globally connected aerospace and space community.
