Capability – Submarines, industrial development and frontier technologies

James Riley
Editorial Director

This discussion is less about submarines and geopolitics, and more about industry development and frontier technology – from quantum computing and AI to rare earths and critical minerals.

Large-scale defence contracts direct huge investment into high-tech industries. At a time when a raft of powerful new technologies are coming of age, considered and well-directed industry programs and partnerships can be truly transformative. The industrial development opportunities for Australia are extraordinary.

This forum was developed to facilitate a discussion at the highest levels of business about how companies can mobilise to build strategically important and commercially valuable intellectual property.

Expert guests include: The Hon. Arthur Sinodinos AO, Australia’s Ambassador to the United States of America The Hon. Steven Marshall, Premier of South Australia Professor Michelle Simmons AO, CEO & Founder at Silicon Quantum Computing, Director at ARC Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology Rear Admiral Lee Goddard , RAN, Head of Partnerships & Operations at Minderoo Foundation Adrian Beer, CEO, METS Ignited Rob Le Busque, Regional Vice President, Asia Pacific at Verizon Business Group Jens Goennemann, Managing Director, Advanced Manufacturing Growth Centre
