Delegates also heard from sector leaders including the Hon Kate Lundy, Defence Ambassador ACT; Dr Cathy Foley, Chief Scientist CSIRO and Air Commodore Richard Lennon, Head Force Design.

The conference helped inform industry about the policy environment for Defence and the Australian Defence Force, including the various grant programs available through government.

The defence policy environment focus is:

innovation and growth
the strategic considerations
innovation needs and opportunities

These themes can help industry and research organisations develop ideas that may benefit the defence industry. The two sectors can then collaborate through the research and development stage.
