Event | Disruptive Biotechnology Online Workshop
Defence and the SABRE Alliance held a successful workshop to seek input from the Australian biotechnology sector and ADSUN members on emerging disruptive biotechnologies with Defence and National Security applications that could be realised in the next 5-15 years.
The workshop was structured around the below technology areas with attendees offered the opportunity to submit technologies outside these areas that they believed could have an impact for Defence and/or National Security.
- Human Biotechnology
- Synthetic biology
- Artificial Intelligence
- Threat detection
It was a successful virtual event with attendees achieving a greater understanding of the role of emerging biotechnology in the Australian Defence context. The event encouraged participants to make connections with Defence Science and Technology Group and the broader Defence on biotechnology, and provided the opportunity to get their technology ideas in front of Defence.
The outcomes of the SABRE event will inform DSTG’s Strategic Science and Technology Outlook which will be shared with Defence decision-makers.
