Vol51 Issue18 11–15 May 2026

WHAT TO EXPECT:

• Engage with the Defence Market: Learn how to navigate and engage with the defence sector.
• Interactive Activities: Participate in hands-on activities to enhance your learning experience.
• Value Proposition Pitch Session: Develop and pitch your value proposition for the Australian Defence Force with feedback from expert panels.
• Expert Feedback: Receive constructive feedback to refine your business models and commercialisation strategies. 

These workshops are designed to be hands on and give participants an opportunity to deepen their understanding of the defence market, develop your value proposition for defence customers, refine the business model, and plan the path to market.

This is a unique opportunity to network and interact with likeminded innovators and benefit from expert advice in defence commercialisation.

Each Bootcamp will be limited to a maximum of 20 participants, so we recommend applications are submitted as soon as possible.

After the bootcamp, the next stage is the Entrepreneurial Foundations for Defence Program later in the year, which is a funded 10-week intensive program covering essentials of mastering defence readiness, technology readiness and commercial readiness for innovations.
