The Asia-Pacific Regional Space Agency Forum (APRSAF) was established in 1993 to enhance space activities in the Asia-Pacific region.
Space agencies, governmental bodies, international organizations, private companies, universities, and research institutes from over 40 countries and regions take part in APRSAF, the largest space-related conference in the Asia-Pacific region. The increasing attendance of high-ranking officials and participants from industry at APRSAF events provides opportunities to discuss international cooperation for space activities in concrete terms.
APRSAF currently organizes five working groups - Satellite Applications, Enhancement of Space Capability, Space Education, Space Frontier, Space Policy and Law - and Space Industry Workshop to share information about the activities and future plans of each country and region in these respective areas. APRSAF also supports the establishment of international projects as solutions for common issues, such as disaster management and environmental protection, so that participating parties will benefit from mutual cooperation.
