An exciting new integrated platform for Australia's defence industry
Defence Connect is set to shake up the marketplace as the first truly integrated platform connecting industry with defence.
This fresh new approach will transform the way in which defence and industry connect, merging traditional media, such as print, with a sophisticated digital platform supported by big data and social media that will underpin the defence industry’s drive to better collaborate, connect and engage.
Defence Connect will increase connectivity and engagement between government, military and industry – helping to deliver greater capabilities to Australia’s Defence Force
Geared for tomorrow’s defence industry – and a truly integrated, networked defence force backed by the Defence White Paper – Defence Connect represents an ambitious new approach that supports the evolving defence sector as it responds to the challenges posed by expanding domains of warfare as well as traditional threats.
Defence Connect will empower all businesses, agencies, departments and institutions involved in defence procurement and delivering defence capabilities. Source
