Recognising people and businesses, rather than products and platforms, the Australian Defence Industry Awards universally acknowledges all defence industry stakeholders – from primes, SMEs, academic institutions and associations, through to high-performing individuals such as defence executives, Indigenous and female leaders, students, scientists, technicians and academics.

This year's finalists have been revealed through a series of successive announcements in conjunction with award partners. This third round of finalists brings together a number of hotly contested categories, including:

• Rising Star of the Year; and 
• SME of the Year – Metropolitan.

You can see if your business has made the second round of finalists for the 2020 Australian Defence Industry Awards here. 

The Defence Connect Australian Defence Industry Awards program was created to reflect the comprehensive role of the defence industry as a fundamental input to Australia’s capability.

The awards is open to all businesses operating in Australia supporting the defence supply chain and has become a coveted accolade for organisations and professionals seeking to forge their role in the defence industry.

The event will be held on 26 November 2020. For further information or to register your interest, please head to the website, contact +61 2 9922 3300 or email Defence Connect here.
