Thank you to everyone who attended our inaugural Defence Trailblazer DTECH Capability Symposium and Showcase on 18 March 2025. Defence, industry leaders, innovators and academics came together to explore cutting-edge technologies, network and gain invaluable insights into the future defence sovereign capabilities.
On the 11 September, the Defence Trailblazer team had the privilege of taking 15 bright students on a tour of the Space Machines Company Sydney facility, co-located at the UTS Tech Lab.
Defence Trailblazer hosted its final Commercialisation & Collaboration Masterclass for 2025 in Sydney on 29 October, bringing together university researchers, PhD candidates, and professional staff for a dynamic half-day session. The event focused on the practical realities of commercialising university research and building effective collaborations with industry.
Today we hosted a fantastic group of academics, professional staff, and industry representatives who came together to explore the challenges and opportunities in academic-industry publishing.
A special thank you to our incredible guest speakers:
