NT Defence Week will be held from 15 to 19 May 2023 with a suite of events scheduled to take place in Darwin and Katherine.
NT Defence Week aims to facilitate strategic dialogue, foster collaboration, strengthen relationships, and showcase industry capability.
DefenceNT has partnered with Industry Capability Network NT, Chamber of Commerce NT, Master Builders NT, NT Indigenous Business Network, Australian Industry and Defence Network, Defence and prime contractors to facilitate engagement between Defence and industry stakeholders and deepen partnerships across northern Australia.
The events have been organised to compliment the Northern Australia Defence Summit and include a "Meet the Buyer" industry showcase, an industry breakfast briefing, the Royal Australian Navy's Plan Galileo Industry Briefing, Defence Industry Networking functions and the Defence Industry Roadshow in Katherine.
The program will ensure local businesses receive a greater understanding of the Defence market and have the opportunity to engage with decision makers across the domains.
