As Australia faces the most uncertain geostrategic circumstances in 70 years, successive governments will increase spending on defence procurement. But with global tensions, war on two continents and ever-increasing fiscal constraints, will this funding be enough?
In the US, private investment in national security is regarded as a patriotic cause and lauded. Here, the narrative needs to change if Australia is going to compete and effectively defend itself.
There is an appetite for greater private investment in the Defence sector. But what are the challenges? What are the risks? And what can (and should) the Federal Government do to develop Defence as an Asset Class?
This one-day event will bring together key players from Government, the investment community, Defence, and Defence industry to look at the opportunities and scope for private capital investment in Australian military capability.
