The Korea AeroSpace Administration (KASA) said Monday it had held a joint Korea-India Space Day in Bengaluru with the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorization Center, calling it a first concrete step toward expanding bilateral cooperation in the space sector.
The event, held in India’s aerospace hub, followed a memorandum of understanding signed in October 2025 between the agency and the Indian Space Research Organisation. It was intended to translate shared priorities into tangible business outcomes in the space industry.
More than 80 Indian companies applied in advance to participate, underscoring strong local interest in Korean space firms, the agency said. Korean government bodies, research institutes and private companies joined as a unified delegation to broaden cooperation across policy, research and industrial value chains.
The program was divided into policy and research sessions and an industry session.
Oh Tae-seok, commissioner of KOSA, said India is a key partner in the global space sector.
“India is a leading space power that achieved the world’s first landing near the lunar South Pole, making it an essential partner for us,” Oh said. “We will strengthen a complementary partnership that combines the strengths of both countries to help lead the global space economy.”
