DMTC and the Innovation Hub

The 2016 Defence Industry Policy Statement – released alongside the Defence White Paper – acknowledged the fundamental contribution that Australian industry provides to defence capability, and the importance of innovation. DMTC has been identified as a key partner in the new Defence Innovation Hub, and will continue to have a vital role to play in applying research and harnessing industrial capability.
