The trio begins the podcast discussing how ADSTAR will support the growth and development of Australian defence businesses, focusing on the key themes of:
- Resilience in contested environments.
- The use of artificial intelligence.
- The use of human and defensive biotechnologies.
The trio then discusses ADSTAR's “start-up alley”, and how the summit will give SMEs the opportunity to showcase their innovations.
