In this special ADSTAR series of the podcast, Defence Connect partnered with Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG) to shine a spotlight on the groundbreaking research undertaken by industry and academia in collaboration with Defence.
In this episode, Defence Connect editor Liam Garman sits down with Professor Emily Hilder, head of Advanced Strategic Capabilities Accelerator (ASCA), and Dan Bennett, co-founder of Salus Ventures, to provide invaluable advice to start-ups and small businesses on how they can make a difference in the world of defence and dual-use technologies.
The podcast will then showcase the ASCA Pitch Day as recorded live from the conference.
