Space Minister Judith Collins on the billion dollar potential for our sector

Our Minister for Space has been working overseas promoting New Zealand’s space industry over in the US.

Judith Collins has returned from the US where she spoke at the Space Symposium -- putting us on the global stage – and she met with senior US government space officials.

According to Deloitte, in 2018 and 2019 New Zealand's space industry contributed $1.7 billion to the economy – but, our Space Minister thinks by now it should be three or more times larger than that.

Today on The Front Page, Judith Collins joins us to discuss what opportunities New Zealand has beyond our horizons.
