  • Launching this week, Walmsley then discusses how thousands of Australian small-to-medium sized enterprises have already joined the platform to leverage the benefits of interconnectivity.
  • The pair wrap up the podcast looking at how ADDIM will support defence businesses and improve the resiliency of Australian supply chains.
