Businesses invited to Defence Industry Support Forum

The day will consist of key presentations from the newly established Guided Weapons and Explosive Ordnance Enterprise and the Australian Submarine Agency.

Regional Maintenance Centre North and Indigenous Procurement Policy representatives will also outline opportunities and updates in the Top End.

Francesca Rush, Capability, Acquisition and Sustainment Group’s first assistant secretary industry capability and chief counsel commercial, said the forums are an invaluable opportunity for businesses.

“Businesses can network with senior Defence and industry representatives and receive advice, guidance, and mentoring services from ODIS Defence industry advisers,” she said.

“ODIS forums provide awareness to best ready your business for entry and expansion into the Defence marketplace.”
