Defence Financing Summit
New Date TBC | Hyatt Hotel, Canberra
Harnessing private capital to enhance sovereign defence capability
Rising tensions in the Indo-Pacific are driving increased Defence spending, but mounting fiscal pressures at home raise a critical question: can government funding alone deliver the capability Australia needs?
Interest in leveraging private capital for Defence is growing — but what are the roadblocks? Where do the risks lie? And how can the Federal Government help position Defence as a viable and attractive asset class?
The ADM Defence Financing Summit, taking place on 18 February in Canberra, will bring together leaders from Government, the investment sector, Defence, and industry to examine the opportunities, challenges, and policy levers required to enable private capital investment in Australia’s Defence capability.
New for 2026! An Unprecedented Opportunity – Four co-located events in one place!
