The 2022 Australian Defence Industry Awards is scheduled to take place on Thursday, 15 September at the National Convention Centre Canberra, recognising the best and brightest in Australia’s defence industry who have committed to strengthening the nation’s defence ecosystem.
This year, Defence Connect received 428 submissions, out of which, 248 finalists have qualified to battle it out for awards across 30 individual and group categories.
This year's awards are supported by KBR as the Australian Defence Industry Awards principal partner for 2022.
Organisations shortlisted as finalists include defence innovators such as Saab Australia, Britton Maritime Systems, and Airbus Australia Pacific, manufacturers such as Amiga Engineering, Ryan Aerospace, and Envirofluid, and prime contractors such as EOS Defence Systems, Luerssen Australia, and BAE Systems Australia.
Individual finalists include representatives from organisations such as Boeing Defence Australia, Nova Systems, Biodiversity Australia, as well as academic institutions such as the University of Canberra, Queensland University of Technology, and University of Sydney.
At the end of the awards ceremony, the highest-scoring award winner from the individual award categories will be selected as the recipient of the prestigious Excellence Award.
Run with the support of principal partner KBR, the awards program celebrates all defence industry stakeholders, including primes, small-to-medium enterprises (SME), academic institutions, associations, as well as high-performing individuals such as defence executives, indigenous and female leaders, students, scientists, technicians, and academics.
The awards were open to all businesses operating in Australia supporting the defence supply chain and have become a coveted accolade for organisations and professionals seeking to forge their role in the Australian defence industry.
“Congratulations to all those finalists who have been recognised for their tireless efforts in building a stronger and more innovative defence industry,” Liam Garman, editor for defence and security at Momentum Media, said.
“I look forward to seeing you all and toasting your amazing successes!”
