City of Playford

Presented by City of Playford and the Stretton Centre, the inaugural Northern Adelaide Defence Industry Networking event presents an exciting industry network, bringing together SMEs, primes, government and talent to create meaningful defence industry connections.

As Northern Adelaide continues to build momentum as a key location to support defence industry growth in South Australia - this new networking series is designed to support that growth for the long term by building knowledge, connection and opportunity.

Our aim is for attendees to understand the opportunities, how to access them and provide a meaningful chance for networking, ultimately being a powerful forum to underpin growth of the sector locally.

This event features presentations from Boeing Australia, South Australian business BiORG's CEO Doug Phillips and the City of Playford.

Why this network matters:

The purpose of this inaugural event is to build the foundation of a long-term industry network designed to:

• Enable collaboration between industry members to foster collaboration
• Support SMEs to connect into defence supply chains to create real pathways for contracts and growth
• Fostering connections with relevant government representatives that foster resilience and create opportunity
• Strengthen defence industry capability in Northern Adelaide to support the State and Federal objectives.
• By bringing all industry and government into the same room, these sessions aim to act as a catalyst for targeted investment and a shared understanding of capability needs - locally and nationally.

This event is designed for:

• Defence industry SMEs
• Prime contractors and supply chain partners
• Engineers, technicians and industry professionals
• Local, state and Commonwealth government stakeholders
• Agencies involved in industry development, skills and procurement
• Anyone seeking to engage in defence industry growth in the north
