This panel will focus on why technology companies should consider dual use applications from a commercial perspective and national security imperative. We’ll hear from Australia and US defense experts and technology companies with experience navigating the defense environment as they examine the opportunities that arise from AUKUS in the form of export control reform and accelerated development in key technology areas such as AI, quantum, hypersonics and beyond. The discussion will also address the global reawakening of the importance of resilient supply chains, workforce development and retention, and how it relates to opportunities for critical and emerging technology companies.
