The Australian government has offered Adelaide University $50 million (US$36.7 million) in a major collaboration between industry and academia to develop and build up the country’s sovereign defence industry in increasingly uncertain times.
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the partnership, which is the second under the government’s Trailblazer program, promises to design 100 new defence technologies and products, earmarked to create 1,000 new jobs over the next four years.
