Building connections for defence and space research, development and innovation

The Defence Innovation Partnership is a catalyst for defence and space research, development and innovation in South Australia. We foster collaboration and engagement between Defence SA, Defence Science and Technology Group, the University of Adelaide, Flinders University, the University of South Australia and other research organisations and industry.

The Defence Innovation Partnership builds research collaborations to deliver innovative solutions to Defence by:

  • Creating connections between researchers, industry and Defence.
  • Fostering defence-relevant collaborations through the Collaborative Research Grants program.
  • Attracting research and development funding to South Australia.
  • Supporting the translation of defence and national security research and development.

The Defence Innovation Partnership is the South Australian node of the Australian Defence Science and Universities Network (ADSUN).
