Join us for a focused online session delivered in collaboration with SelectUSA, the U.S. Commercial Service (U.S. Department of Commerce), and the Defence Innovation Network (DIN). This session is designed to support Australian defence and advanced technology companies seeking to enter, partner, and scale in the United States.

The United States offers a unique ecosystem for defence and dual‑use innovation—combining major demand signals, world-leading primes and integrators, deep venture and industrial capital, and pathways to government and commercial customers. This session will share practical market-entry insights, including regulatory considerations, partnership models, and real-world lessons from Australian companies expanding into the U.S.

You’ll leave with actionable guidance on:

• Building an effective U.S. market entry plan (partners, customers, pathways)
• Where SelectUSA and the U.S. Commercial Service can help (and how to engage)
• Common regulatory and contracting considerations for defence/dual‑use companies
• Practical lessons from Australian companies expanding and operating in the U.S.

The U.S. defence market is one of the most significant and dynamic industrial ecosystems in the world. In 2023, it was valued at approximately US $770 billion, with robust growth forecasted toward a US $1 trillion market by 2030, driven by advancements in aerospace, cybersecurity, autonomous systems, and defence R&D.
