By Samuel Smith Published: Monday, November 23, 2020 https://samotor.raa.com.au/adelaide-the-rise-of-an-innovative-city/ 1/24 31/12/2020 Adelaide: The rise of an innovative city | samotor The RAA Magazine rom space tech to supercars, Adelaide is F quickly and quietly building a reputation as an innovative city. City of churches, birthplace of the frog cake, home of the Mall’s Balls – Adelaide’s been called a lot of things over the years, but world-famous innovation hub? Perhaps not. Things are changing though, rapidly. With big players like the Australian Space Agency, Lot Fourteen and Brabham Automotive now calling our city home, SA’s innovators are being recognised on a global scale, opening our eyes – and the world’s – to concepts that can be as simple as finding a faster way to do your shopping or as complex as developing artificial intelligence. https://samotor.raa.com.au/adelaide-the-rise-of-an-innovative-city/ 2/24 31/12/2020 Adelaide: The rise of an innovative city | samotor The RAA Magazine The Australian Space Agency Space technology benefits all Australians. How, you may ask? Think about GPS, weather forecasts and internet access – these daily conveniences all rely heavily on data from space. Established in mid-2018, the Australian Space Agency falls under the remit of the Australian Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources. It has a huge range of functions, from authorising satellites and rockets to inspiring and supporting Australians who want to work in the space industry.
