STRENGTHENING SOVEREIGN SUPPLY CHAINS: PROMOTING AUSTRALIA’S DEFENCE INDUSTRY

With shifting trade dynamics and rising geopolitical tensions, sovereign supply chains are under greater scrutiny than ever.

This session will unpack the ripple effects of recent U.S. tariff policies on Australia’s defence industrial base, informed by insights from a targeted industry survey. Discussion will focus on how suppliers are responding to trade uncertainty, reshoring pressures, and the drive for sovereign capability. Attendees will gain a clear view of supplier confidence, key risks, and the policy tools that can bolster Australia’s defence readiness in a contested Indo-Pacific.
