Festival Hellenika – Make Space for Earth
Professor Andy Koronios PhD is the Chief Executive Officer and
Managing Director of the Australasian Space Innovation Institute.
He was recently honoured to be appointed member of the

Australia's space sector. He led the establishment of the SmartSat
Cooperative Research Centre-a $270million university-industry
collaboration in space technologies, the largest in Australia. His
work focuses on using space technologies to address real world
challenges.
Beyond technology, Andy is motivated by the questions of
meaning, ethics and human responsibility. He draws heavily on
the philosophy of Stoicism applying its principles to leadership,
decision-making and everyday life. Andy migrated to Australia
from Sparta, Greece as a teenager in the early 70's with little
English and few resources.
