Advanced Manufacturing in Australia: The AUKUS Opportunity for U.S. Companies

• American manufacturers will discover the partnering and business opportunities emerging within the Australian maritime defense sector, with a particular focus on the AUKUS (Australia-U.K.-U.S.) Alliance.  There are unprecedented opportunities for U.S. firms to export their world-leading technology and systems as they work with Australian industries to enhance Australia's advanced manufacturing capabilities, directly supporting AUKUS Pillar I and II priorities and other important industry sectors.
• Australia is actively seeking to boost its capabilities and integrate global best practices in its defense industrial base.  Through collaboration with key partners, U.S. advanced manufacturing companies can help drive innovation and security across maritime and defense supply chains.
• This webinar has been designed for American suppliers of advanced manufactured finished products and advanced manufacturing solutions.  We will present practical steps for U.S. firms on doing business in Australia and partnering with Australian companies that are seeking to build innovation and resilience in critical industries.
