About the Event

Introduces defence industry opportunities, readiness requirements, and capability-building for successful participation in AUKUS-era supply chains

OVERVIEW:

Made for Defence is an introductory webinar designed to help Australian businesses understand the growing opportunities emerging from major defence initiatives such as AUKUS, continuous naval shipbuilding, advanced technologies, and increasingly integrated Australia-UK-US supply chains. The session explores how defence supply chains operate, the capabilities organizations need to participate successfully, and the role of a broader industrial ecosystem that includes manufacturers, engineering firms, technology providers, logistics organizations, and professional services. Participants will also gain insight into how AME aims to support industrial capability development across Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
