Cyber Trade Mission to Australia

ADS and UK Defence & Security Exports (UKDSE) are proud to be hosting a multi-city Cyber Trade Mission to Australia in Q4 this year, with the support of the British High Commission Canberra, AUSTrade and various other UK and Australian government departments.

This mission has been spurred by the 2023-2030 Australian Cyber Security Strategy, which places emphasis on the 2023-2025 window as being the key window to address immediate concerns. In addition, Project REDSPICE represents a $10 billion investment in cyber capabilities over the next 10 years, driven by the Australian Signals Directorate. Within a wider context of a UK-Australia Free Trade Agreement and AUKUS, this is an excellent time to consider doing business with Australia.
