Adelaide: Defence Industry Engagement Session

Babcock is proud to deliver the Defence Industry Engagement Series, a national series designed to connect local suppliers with current and emerging opportunities across Australia’s defence sector. This series brings together leaders from Babcock, government and key industry partners to provide practical insights into upcoming programs, supply chain requirements, export pathways, and the support available to Australian SMEs looking to enter the sector for the first time or expanding an existing defence footprint.

The Adelaide session will place a strong emphasis on the Global Supply Chain Program and the role of South Australian industry in supporting national and international defence programs. Attendees will gain insights into the collaborative focus of the program, export opportunities, supply chain expectations, and the support available to businesses looking to scale their capability.

Presentations will cover supplier case studies and key learnings, training opportunities and grant access.
The session will have networking breaks, offering attendees the opportunity to connect with speakers, Babcock representatives, government partners, and other industry stakeholders.

Registration is free, and catering will be provided throughout the day.
