“Through this initiative, council aims bring defence and industry together to connect and discuss project opportunities, share insights contributing to upskilling and networking with key decision-makers in government, industry and academia” said Tamanna Monem, Ipswich City Council’s lead contact for defence industry development.  

Promoted worldwide, notable international delegates will be travelling to the City of Ipswich to take part in the event.

In addition, SMEs have expressed interest in participating in the ‘speed dating’ style B2B session, a unique inaugural event in the region.

Registered attendees will meet one-on-one with defence contractors, suppliers and key players in the defence supply chain - an opportunity not to be missed.
