The Pitchfest was organised by Industry Defence Security Australia Limited (IDSAL) in partnership with the Defence Science Institute (DSI), Defence Innovation Partnership (DIP), Defence Science Centre (DSC) and the DIN.
The event comprised a series of three-minute "pitches", which was used to demonstrate Australian innovation, research collaboration and development strengths.
"The pitch sessions were an opportunity for DST Group, academia and Industry researchers and innovators to showcase an innovative idea/technology application/product in the early stage of its development (pre-commercialisation) to an audience including primes, OEMs, Defence customers/users, research professionals, venture financiers, and critical/interested peers," a release from DIN said.
